Yes...because in a solid blue or red district, we know what party is going to win, but there's a spectrum within each party.
You still haven't demonstrated that larger registration lead to those two nominations. (My guess -- you can't.)
One is a Mormon, the other doesn't need the middle "m".
Not sure what you mean. We have various supports for the homeless regardless of ID. They often lose their ID being homeless. There are sleep halls and buses. Or camping areas where they can be safe together.
Not sure what that means. But how does this negate the massive fraud and the example that identifying people to qualify them before they get the money is a fundemental principle of good government. Two wrongs don't make a right.
So is the young adults less informed than the the maga base? Do you believe it would be a good thing if young adults don't vote? They are part of the population, they are eligible to vote, the more of them that vote the higher legitimacy of the result.
That's largely going to be a case by case thing.
Depends on the nature of the voter...

I did actually, I provided the quote from AOC from her Face the Nation interview post-victory where she even credited the increased electorate for her primary victory.
Do you really not know how emotions figure into your own thought process? Why do you have such disdain (an emotion!) for the concept of emotion? I've noticed some people like to use "emotional" as an insult as if they believe they are "above" that without considering how deeply mired it it they are. Without emotion, they simply would not care.
Gratitude, humor, triumph, self-satisfaction - all emotions. I doubt you've really analyzed this.
So are Democrat voters more or less informed than Republican voters? Why talk about young voters as more problematic than any other demographic. They still should have a say even if you don't approve of the who or the why the vote for.
Well, I'll think you'll be having to try quite hard to find the young persons "simply looking to engage in mimicry". I have never ever heard a voter say that. It is not supported by your example below.
How is this different than gathering an opinion from a person you trust? If they know Taylor Swift as fans or detractors, there is a chance that her viewpoint might align or be at cross with theirs.A real world example of the thing I'm talking about:
Can Taylor Swift sway the 2024 election?
Eighteen percent of voters would be more likely or significantly more likely to vote for a Swift-endorsed candidate, a poll shows.
Exclusive polling conducted for Newsweek by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 18 percent of voters say they're "more likely" or "significantly more likely" to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift.
Seventeen percent said they would be less likely to vote for a Swift-backed candidate.
If that is how they want to inform themselves, then so it is. Please note, they didn't say they would vote for the endorsed candidate solely because of her endorsement.
Why, her thing is music right? Any particular reason why a person would be inclined to trust her positions on defense spending or tax policy?
Being more or less likely to vote for someone based on liking/disliking a musician has little to do with informing oneself.
No, if they follow her they might know if a candidate that she endorses is more or less likely to align with their values.
Based on what?

You know, those on the left here keep telling me my feelings don't matter, and that "facts" are all that matter. You've seen that recently, haven't you?
She might have done many dozens of interviews from which her values shine through. I don't know exactly what she has said, I don't follow her.
But you might have an insight into their values. If you find that their values reflect or contradict your own, of course it is informative for your own decision process.
How is this not an invitation to become more interested in politics? Let me guess that voting didn't take place on september 20th?This isn't the result of people who are deeply engaged with politics.
Could Taylor Swift play a role in the presidential race?
The expected presidential rematch between two men, ages 77 and 81, is a fight over many things: How to protect the borde
"Are you registered to vote yet?" Swift wrote on Instagram Sept. 19, National Voter Registration Day. "I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you guys at my US shows recently. I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year! Register to vote in less than 2 minutes at Vote.org/NVRD." Swift is not officially affiliated with the Vote.org nonprofit organization.
The day that Swift posted that message, Vote.org received about 35,000 new registrations
Voting is cool, and the more that votes the better the vote reflects the population. Should I condemn those who hadn't registered before september 19th, it is well ahead of the voting day isn't it?
Every vote is a good vote, it means that more people have expressed an opinion on the political future of the government. It is after all not only your future.

It doesn't reflect the population. If someone is doing it just to be like a person they think is cool and popular, then it's not particularly valuable.
So if I go into the booth, and flip a coin to make my decision, is that a good vote?
It is that person's vote, of course it it part of what and how the population think. Also you haven't shown they are "doing it just to be like a person they think is cool and popular". That you don't think your strawman is valuable is clear.
That is your strawman of why they voted as they did.
Yes, it is how YOU choose to spend your vote. YOU probably think that it a good method if you use it. That is then a reflection of the population.
