The really shocking stat is the growing number of eligible voters who have just stopped voting or participating in the system at all. When you look at the #1 reason why it is "no matter who wins my life doesn't get better and no candidate represents me". We have a quasi functional democracy at this point.

I am curious how many of those 36% that didn't vote wanted to but couldn't due to gerrymandering and other bullshit.

Well they’d still be able to vote in a gerrymandered district, but as far as voter suppression, it was at an all time high, in terms of ratfucking attempts, but it’s still small compared to the overall population of non-voters.

Pew research found that:

Among those eligible to vote who say they did not cast a ballot, 42% say they wish they had voted while 57% say they do not.

So. Don’t give a damn til their shit blows up in real time.

If you didn't vote then you voted for the bad guy.

If you didn't vote you are just as bad as the MAGAniacs.

If you didn't vote you voted for Trump.

If you didn't vote you are responsible for the current situation.
