Wouldn't someone concerned about his influence in an election want to discourage other people from voting? If you're the only one voting your vote counts for far more.

Or did I just miss the point of that video entirely?

Clearly he thinks people who wouldn't vote are statistically likely to vote for the candidates he supports if they do vote.

That's one way of looking at it (certaintly legitimate), there's another:

participating in voting creates accomplishes. The public is an accomplish to whatever the ruling class will do afterwards.

Imagine an abstention of, say, 80%.

80% of a population did not give legitimate authority for whatever will be going on.
Then how can they say that whatever they're doing, they're doing it with a people's mandate? There's no mandate.

Maybe completely abstaining is the way to push for real change.

If you stopped saying "ruling class", you would gain credibility.

[Bereta_Eder]

but I would lose in revolutionality and chicks dig that

[Sava]

Revolutionary women don't believe in personal hygiene because it's part of the the patriarchy.

[Bereta_Eder]

Well I'm not hanging out with THAT much revolutionary company

[Sava]

There's nothing wrong with that, btw. I just don't like body hair all that much.

[Bereta_Eder]

A serious impediment towards the transition to an egalitarian society

[Sava]

Body hair?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Yes.

Accomplice. If 80% don't vote, what are they doing? Protesting? If they just stay home nothing will change.
