How does "not even vot[ing] in elections" in any way help with bias for a particular candidate? If you use a spin pulpit to shill for your desired candidate, how does not going out and voting for him too do anything to change that?
To be above all suspicion or reproach. The people I knew were pretty hardcore. That being said, they weren't all that intense. I'm sure some of them did vote, but they weren't running the campaign for one of the candidates in their off time, and if they were, they would have been fired immediately. As for spin pulpits, I'm not talking about opinion writing, I'm talking about reporting, which is ostensibly what TechCrunch does.
How is that above all suspicion? If you want the candidate in office, murder his opponent for that reason, and then make sure not to actually go out and cast a vote for him, does that somehow make it less of a political assassination?
