You're a weirdo. Me, too, I guess.

Believe it or not, normal people don't get all that spun up about politics.

Gun owners are probably, on average, more politically-oriented than the general populace, but that's because firearms, like electric vehicles, have been so heavily politicized.

Looking at the new TLP/YouGov 2024 presidential tracker, including interviews with 3000 registered voters, we find that half of all American voters say they haven’t done anything political in the last 6 months.

Around three in 10 voters say they have posted about politics on social media—the highest ranked activity of the bunch. Roughly one fifth of voters say they have contacted an elected official and slightly less than one fifth have donated to a candidate or party. Activities that require some physical presence in politics—like volunteering for a party or candidate, attending a rally or protest, or attending a town hall—are undertaken by very small percentages of Americans.

So half of all registered voters surveyed say they didn't do any of that stuff, and less than seventy percent of eligible citizens are even registered to vote. Most people aren't even arsed enough about this stuff to put a sticker on their car or a sign in their yard.

The problem with the modern primary system is that it rewards the weirdos.
