Based on the turnout you have 36% who silently approves the result since they didn’t turn up for the election.
Followed by 32% of the voting population which strongly approves of the result.
The ”not all of us” is a very tempting copout but it is quite evident that the American psyche is in general aligned with Trump.
- xvedejas 1y agoVery convenient that you are able to rebrand apathy as approval. They're not actually the same, however.
- immibis 1y agoYour intentions don't matter, only your actions. The fact is that about two thirds of the population voted that they were okay with a Trump presidency, and slightly less than that with a Harris presidency.
- petralithic 1y agoIf you don't vote, don't complain about the outcome. It is de facto approval with the result regardless of how one spins it.
- c22 1y agoIf you believe the system to be flawed there is no hypocrisy in not engaging with it while simultaneously denouncing the outcome. For instance, I am vehemently opposed to the outcomes produced by a defacto two-party system so for my entire adult life I have exclusively voted for 3rd party candidates on principle. In practice this is akin to not voting at all. I have been accused on multiple occasions of failing to prevent the 'bad' two-party candidate from winning by 'wasting' my vote. Nevertheless, I find it well within my wheelhouse to cast critique.
- walls 1y agoYou’re wrong. You have, at best, wasted votes your whole life. But hey, you get to pretend it’s some moral high ground, so, yay! Nice job.
- xvedejas 1y agoWhat if you were disenfranchised? This happened to me before, due to residency and main-in ballot rules. This may be a significant number of non-voters.
