A Telling Observation on Voter Behavior

Or, Converse in the streets. 

YOU THINK voter logic is like: A → B → C → D. In actuality, voter logic is more like: A → Purple → Banana → 18 […] The most pervasive bias in political coverage is not left vs. right it's “follows politics” vs. “doesn't follow politics.” – Tweet by Time correspondent Charlotte Alter.

    People who do not follow or get involved in politics reek of privilege.

    There's something to that. Most Black people I talked to, when I still could canvass, were politically aware; most whites weren't. I suppose that's a reflection of institutional racism: Blacks know very well that who governs makes a difference; for whites the difference is less obvious.
