Every single non-voter in the country willingly allowed the Republicans to fuck everyone over.

Edit: Going back decades, obviously. The latest election has nothing to do with the current SCOTUS. And sure, it's not the American non-voters' fault they're brain dead consumers with no will of their own. It's all very sad, blah blah blah.

Down voted for the truth.

Say it with me- fuck nonvoters.

"Is it my fault that I refuse to run on popular issues and can't win elections? No, it is the voters who are wrong."

Isn’t that ALL non voters do? Blame someone else? I mean, that’s their entire schtick, isn’t it? To do nothing and point the finger at others for the results?

If you think the results would be different if all people voted, you're just coping. Vote of half of the society is extremely representative

It has been studied time and time again. There are simply more registered Democrats than Republicans. If everyone came out to vote, Democrats would win. No question.

simply more registered Democrats than Republicans

Or maybe registration numbers aren't representative to the final election outcome?

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's the point I'm making, the lack of voting is the problem if dems want to win.

One way or another, any government which remains in power is a representative government. If your city government is a crooked machine, then it is because you and your neighbors prefer it that way - prefer it to the effort of running your own affairs.

Hitler's government was a popular government; the vast majority of Germans preferred the rule of gangsters to the effort of thinking and doing for themselves. They abdicated their franchise.
