Do those giant piles go to the voting booths, or are they pinky promising to do so when the general election comes around, next time?
They do. Check out Mamdani, who had record-breaking voters turn out. Remember FDR? They voted so hard for him, that Congress had to set up term-limits. It turns out that this "Leftists don't vote meme" is bullshit. Leftists just don't want to vote for Right-Wingers, which is why they never show up for Democrats.
People don't vote, including leftists. Not voting isn't going to make politicians shift left, either way.
People demonstrably vote, including leftists. I also never said that not voting is going to move politicians to the left.
