    No, you can blame propaganda telling those voters in safe states to stay home. So even tho Trump won the electoral college handily, those stupid fuckers fell for the crap because they’re fucking lazy and gave him both houses of Congress and a slew of right wing state level govts.

    Non-voters paved the path for dicktaster Trump because so many people bitched and moaned about votes “not counting” (yes they fucking do, 99.99% of races aren’t the president) and propagandists picked up on that and amplified the hell out of that message.

    Note: no evidence, just my own angry rant about my own observations of this last election

      Yeah. I figured the repubs are the ‘take charge, get shit done’ people and the Dems are more like the ‘John Lennon hippie types more interested in virtue signalling than action’ types. Good feelings don’t get results I guess. Who knew? Shrugs now the copium seems to point blame at the system and candidates instead of owning their choice (apparently also a Dem trait). The rest of the world doesn’t thank those who sat it out. They should be ashamed.
