    I am really not following all the vitriol in the comments, are people not only ignoring the article to react to the headline but then also mis-reading the headline?

    It’s not saying anyone ought to vote a certain way, it’s just pointing out that low-propensity voters tend to support Trump.

    I suspect this is due to the recent polarization around education. Highly educated people tend to vote more, and over the last decade they have tended to vote more and more for Democrats. And vice versa for low-formal-education folks.

      Yeah, when I read the headline I figured it was saying that if you don’t vote, that means you’re actively supporting trump. But after reading the article, it’s definitely not saying that as far as I can tell.

      I chalk it up to the headline being worded weirdly, and just the fact that people have been saying things sorta like that.
