    Everyone on Twitter is super fired up and giving themselves a heart attack over politics, and yet out there in America 44% of eligible voters aren't even voting.https://twitter.com/ritholtz/status/1052244027330969600 …

        Actually, because I was thinking the same thing, it looks like it is closer to 73%.

        Voting is pretty irrational individually. We’re the weirdos sitting in a little booth, poking holes in a paper that could go straight to the dumpster outside with no difference in outcome.

        Watching political response on Twitter just reinforces two of my priors: 1) Twitter is not a representative sample of the US and 2) Politics Twitter is mostly cheap talk.

        re 2): hopefully cause the people actually doing the work are canvassing and too busy to tweet ;)

        A nonrepresentative sample due to people trying to make a sample more representative?

        That was in 2016. 2018 is a midterm election, so turnout will most likely be *lower* in spite of all the talk of people being fired up.

        It would be interesting to know the number of those prevented or dissuaded from voting by legal obstacles or deliberate disinformation, or just the difficulty of voting (the latter is probably very hard to know accurately).
