And any time I bring up how awful Trump is, they go absolutely silent and glare at me. They aren’t Trumpers. They don’t “do” politics. I wonder if they get sick with the new virus they’ll learn to care.

... then they better get their asses to the polls this November. If they don't like your bringing politics into it, tell them they haven't seen anything yet, if trump gets a second term it will get exponentially worse, both trumps behavior, and the 'intrusion' of politics into their lives.

We have some good friends here, a couple we dine with about every month and who live only a few blocks from us. International travelers, well educated, read the papers, know everything that's going on. We watched bush steal the election with them. The next morning I was on the phone and located a rally to protest at. Called 'em up and asked if they wanted to go. They practically shrieked in horror. "We don't do that type of thing."

I was appalled and have never forgotten it. Some peoples' commitment to democracy goes only so far. And it sucks.

It's a survey and analysis of chronic nonvoters, and contains information that might be helpful for anyone trying to organize a GOTV campaign aimed at people who normally don't cast a ballot.

I only learned about it recently. So far, I haven't had time to do more than skim it, but I intend to look more closely at some point. I'm glad people are doing research on this topic.
