Case in point, all the "Kamala didn't earn my vote!" dipshits who handed Trump the presidency on a silver platter.

That line has been dead for over a year, you need to find a new scapegoat.

Not sure what argument you think you're making. If we had a 100% turnout and still had enough people waste their vote on some protest candidate or even directly for Trump as some kind of accelerationist nonsense, the situation would still be what I'm griping about, which is people failing to vote strategically. Nonvoters are only part of the issue.

...and not that it matters, but I don't buy that article's pitch for a second. High voter turnout trends blue. A study can hypothesize to the contrary, but a single study doesn't prove shit (in any context - peer review ftw).
