I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    Or worse, to exacerbate racial tensions, is one possibility I fear.

        it’s generating productive discussion

        also there’s nothing really to “agree” with or not; it’s a question only and I have been doing my best not to come down with immediate judgement toward those answering the question

          Gives some serious “just asking questions” vibes.

          The image definitely provides a pretty clear perspective. People seem to be reacting to either agreeing or disagreeing with that perspective. Why is the main focus on those that abstained rather than on those that voted Trump? I don’t really see any productive conversations happening. Just the same people reiterating the same talking points. The data makes it clear that Gaza was not a big issue for voters, and no one is really going to change their mind on either side of that even if it WAS the deciding factor in the election. This seems like a distraction and a great way to sow division.
