    ~20% of eligible voters voted for this.

    More people didn’t vote than voted for either candidate.

    ~150M voted with a 2M difference ~90M didn’t vote

    I’ll bet the vote count that actually matters is more like <10% of the country.

        Just like upgrading from eating scaps to eating fastfood, better doesn’t mean good.

      just as neglecting to make a decision is still a decision, neglecting to vote is still a vote.

        You’re ignoring the many people who have been disenfranchised, their registration purged from the rolls at the last second, votes thrown out, intentionally giving certain areas only one voting location for many many people. There’s tons of reasons why someone might not vote that are out of their control.
