When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

He also voted in 2020 and 2022. So I’m sure a correction and apology for printing lies will be coming sooner rather than later.

Also hilarious that turns out he has been voting after all, plus imagining farcical scenarios caused by the authors guilt and embarrassment at their secret voting driving a need to keep their secret at any cost

Instead of an apology and a retraction the NYT edited the headline to omit the not voting part.

also he voted in both 2022 and 2020 and is lying. The New York Times is simply publishing fascist propaganda intended to suppress the non-fascist vote.

"Why I don't vote, by which I mean, of course I do, but why YOU shouldn't vote so my vote counts for more."

Meet the opinion maker who wrote that piece, Matthew Walther, interviewed in 2023, who attended the notorious conservative Christian school, Hillsdale College in Michigan, that was so opposed to affirmative action that they went private so they wouldn’t have to comply with the law.

It also appears this mendacious fool was lying about not voting. Which was publicly available information the fact checkers at the Times apparently failed to look for. bsky.app/profile/bubb...

Hey, if the people who think like they do fail to vote, our Trump problem could be solved. Then we have to deal with the rest of the fascists.
