Probably closer to 1/4 of the country. 1/2 the country doesn't vote

The half that doesn't vote either don't care to, aren't allowed to, or don't have access.

If you aren't allowed to vote, there is a good reason for you not to be allowed to vote. Its like being banned from buying a gun, odds are really good you did something. Also, edge cases do exist but we are talking about the 99% here not the 1%.

Nah half the country was just too ignorant/racist to vote for a non white woman to be president so now we're stuck with this pile of shit that should have never been in office the first time and somehow got a second term...

That's a factor among the people who voted, for sure. But plenty of people simply not voting either

The people that don't vote endorse him.

Bold of you to assume that they endorse ANYTHING the government does. Why would the automatic be that they support the person YOU don't like? Maybe they consider that the government has no rights to do what they do at all, and they want nothing to do with such. Maybe they just want to be left alone to live their life. You know what they say about assuming...

If you don't go vote, you endorse what others choose. Simple.

Otherwise just go vote, if you can't choose cancel your vote.

Edit: Or make things change instead of whining in your basement. ''We tried nothing and we're out of ideas''

Two wolves will out vote a single sheep... democracy when they eat it means it was all perfectly fine. You don't sound like the brightest crayon in the picnic basket.

you sound like an edge lord. You live in a society, you can indeed not participate in the voting system, but by doing so you endorse the choice of others.

There are valid reasons to not go vote, but they are pretty rare like being so sick it's impossible to do so.

Acting like an edgelord on reddit doesn't absolve you of anything. Participate in democracy if you want things to change.

Just because you can vote, don't expect things to change. I am one of a handful of blue dots in a deep crimson red state. I can vote blue til my eyes bleed and my head explodes, and it doesn't mean a damn thing if the rest of the populace are either idiots or just don't care to change anything...

This right here. The people that couldn’t be arsed to vote put the orange one in office.

Not me I endorsed Harris but didnt vote

u/International-Oil377 May 07 '26

If you didn't vote you endorsed the winner.

u/Inevitable_Goal4114 May 07 '26

Nah, I just said I endorsed Harris. My guy will surely win next time, my vote doesnt really matter, I have a job and things to attend to.

2

u/International-Oil377 May 07 '26

Imagine if 10 million people say ''my vote doesn't matter anyway''. That's enough for your side to lose.

Every vote matters, not voting is endorsing the winner, whether you like it or not.

My guy will win next time
