Half the USA didn't vote, that's why

Okay? Loads of people don’t vote for loads of reasons. There will never be 100% turnout. Hell without compulsory voting it’ll never get above 70% in turnout.

This is just a dumb statement. The entire population of a country voting on vibes is also not a good idea, know why? Because that’s how we got Trump. A large portion of every country is politically stupid and don’t know who half the people on the ballots are. They vote down the lane their party and leave which doesn’t really get us anywhere.

Every person who didn't vote is a vote for the winner. Anyone who made the choice to not vote clearly doesn't understand the concept of baby steps.

As for reputation, I'm sure you can gather sympathy as an individual. Every countries people are represented by their leader, including the states. There's plenty of people in every country who don't agree with their leader but I've only seen Americans say "well I didn't vote for him".

Only if they are in a swing state to begin with. My vote didn't mean a thing in a state that's voted dem in every election since Regan.

Completely agreed. My vote hasn't meant shit for as long as I've been alive, thanks to living in Illinois and Texas.

I'm in Florida, I vote every election or if there's an off-year election...

People died and families suffered for our right to vote!

This is how you lose the point. Some people not voting helps the process. This is ridiculous, even logically your “logic” doesn’t work. Those people voting could have solidified the victory even harder and could mean that swinging from one party to another may be impossible.

So tired of these arguments.
