Decent-yes, outsized, no.Lethen said:You're assuming that some of those low-engagement voters won't stick around and become high-engagement voters. Its also a weak argument to say that having a voting base of low-engagement voters will weaken a mandate: with the way we're set up, the low-engagement voter will always greatly outnumber active and semi-active players. Every major election has a decent portion of low-engagement voters that vote. And the "active and semi-active players" doesn't even take into account those that are involved politically and forum-side, and those that primarily care about the social side of things and are mainly active on Discord.
You're assuming any or more than perhaps one or two of them (if that) actually stick around for any length of time. I might be wrong, but when Aex pulled a similar style of GOTV for WAD (though not to the same degree) we didn't see a whole lot of new activity from low-engagement players.
