My least favorite thing about election culture in the US is when individual people say things like "Make sure to vote!" and don't actually say how they think you should vote. It means one of a few things:

1) they think it's rude to discuss specific policy or candidates
2) they think their position is the "true" majority and if everyone voted it would all be ok
3) they actually don't care how you vote

1 & 3 are morally awful, 2 just seems like hubris

@darius well there is actually research showing turnout = higher dem votes. So 2 but with data?
@borut I have heard that anecdotally but haven't seen the data, would love to look at it (googling just failed me)
@darius yeah, now it's all midterm election punditry, maybe in a few weeks when the algorithms settle down
