There's the quite silly assumption that the non-voters are somehow magically Progressive. And that being Progressive is even a pre-requisite for voting for abortion rights. Moreover that voting is a solution to anything. As an independent, I find both parties particularly despicable. And it doesn't matter what I vote for, since with the Electoral system my vote doesn't count, and due the closed primary system and dominance of one party statistically, my vote doesn't count for local elections. Our ballot only has one party on it ranging from mayoral to city council to judge and DA elections. Blaming non-voters for all the bad decisions of government is a scapegoat.
