If you factor in eligible non-voters, then "neither Democrat nor Republican" wins almost every election in the US. For example, Biden got 51.3% of the vote with 66.6% turnout, which is only 34% of eligible voters. Now ask yourself how many of those 34% were truly enthusiastic about Biden, and how many were just voting against Trump.
- jrs235 3y agoWhat you say is correct. However, how many non-voters don't bother because their voice is lost. If they have the chance to be heard (that they have no confindence in the choices) maybe more will turn out to vote?
- lapcat 3y agoI was agreeing with you about the no confidence vote. I was just trying to underline the point, that voters have no confidence in the choices.
