I distrust many of them, but a “they’re all the same” attitude is exactly the apathy that the dark forces of the right feed on. For example, in my decades of direct political activity, we had to be sure to get the logistics right in getting voters to polling stations on election days. The belief that voters of the right will always turn out to vote was correct. The left (maybe even the pretendy left, or ‘progressives’ - clears throat, satisfying ‘ting’ of the spittoon) has always dreaded bad weather on polling day, as the vote is far less dedicated than that of the forces of conservatism.
