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.
Obviously those people wouldn't fall under "neglecting to vote", now would they?
Exactly
You're saying that as if 90M had a legitimate reason not to vote.
Have you seen the state of American society? In case you didn’t hear it has got so bad we’ve got vigilantes killing CEOs
No, I heard nothing about that in a thread talking about the effect of such an action /s
Nobody with a modicum of critical thinking can seriously believe that all 90M non-voters tried everything to vote and just couldn't.
It's a blatant statement that they don't consider either candidate to be a legitimate choice.
