Mandate voting as a responsibility of citizenship. Fine non-voters. Increase fines with repeated non-voting incidents.
Make voter-interference and voter-intimidation felonies.

That is a very valid point :/

Well yes, but they clearly don't. They don't think their vote matters - the way politics is today, politicians are bought and paid for. In that respect, I can see the antipathy.

It seems you have heard our battle cries for much better messaging. This is a start but maybe have a pep rally with AOC or Crockett before you film. Speak with anger and conviction, drop the "Dem Decorum", it doesn't resonate anymore.
