    Abstained from voting? It’s totally fair to be upset with people who abstained from voting, they aren’t taking part in the democracy. However, I feel like there is this belief to assume that just because someone didn’t vote for the two major parties, they didn’t vote at all. This belief only perpetuates the “throwing away your vote” idea that has made the Democratic and Republican parties comfortable enough to be for their own interests rather than the interests of all. I can’t be upset with anyone who voted for Democrat, Republican, or third party because they took part in the democracy.
