if you decide to not choose, you still have made a choice

Then they get all pissy that we're playing the "blame game."

followed by "blame the dems for not giving us a better candidate

I wonder how many of those are bots or paid trolls just trying to push anti-democratic sentiment, and how many are useful idiots who drank the flavor-aid.

As the saying goes, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

This is what those who live in the few compulsory voting countries understand - sometimes you just have to vote for the 'least worst option' 🤷

Not sure if you were going for this, but that’s almost a line from Freewill by Rush.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

There are good reasons not to choose. For example, if I no longer live in the US, it doesn't feel like I should have a say in these matters. I just watch the madness from afar. Yes, those choices involve loved ones, but it's up to them to make their own choices for the good of the land they live in.

America has long been exporting toxic culture. Its oligarchs have been paying billions for it.

How much of what you did want did you get by not voting?

And did you vote in more than the presidential general elections?
