I am skeptic of electoral democracy, but as long as we're doing it, aiming for 100% turnout is the only option. The incentives in electoral democracy reward those who marginalize voters who disagree with them, and it's far easier to marginalize the powerless than the powerful. This is an unacceptable outcome, yet we've done it since the founding of the republic, and we still do it today.
