    There’s a massive gap between the disenfranchisement happening in the South and other parts of the country, and people who without incredible effort can vote, but don’t.

    You’re talking about “a lot of cases”, sure, whatever, I’m talking about “the rest of the cases”. Which is a lot, maybe even a majority, of the massive numbers of environmentalists who don’t vote.

    It’s not that they can’t, it’s not that they’re suppressed, these people just DON’T.

      This is what they write on the website you linked to:

      1,487,733 of the 9,542,183 million non-voting and seldom-voting environmentalists whom EVP has communicated with since the fall of 2015 are now consistent super-voters who vote in every election, big and small.

      All in all there are about 139,398,590 environmentalists in the USA (41% of Americans identify themselves as “environmentalists”).

      How do you know that climate protestors aren’t in the big group of environmentalists who vote?

        Fine. Let me rephrase. Get other “environmentalists” to vote. Organize voting drives. Do campaigns. Fund candidates. Not this silly shit.
