Get off your high horse. You did make a choice. You chose to not make a choice.
And with the way that electoral calculus and bias works in the US, not voting is disproportionately harmful to Democratic candidates, and disproportionately helpful to Republican candidates. You helped this happen by not voting.
Since I haven’t had an opportunity to even go through the process of voting, despite trying, waiting for ~2 hours, only to close at 8pm and officers ordered everyone still waiting to leave, I have no experience with the actual process of voting.
So how does the process actually work? From my understanding, unless I’m mistaken, don’t people get to vote on numerous positions at once, not just the president?
Like, I’d be looking at the options and be wondering who half or more of the candidates even are, and also not even being sure exactly what the nature of their job is in the bigger picture, not knowing a damn thing about them to make any educated decision.
Also, from my understanding, in my state, if you vote Democrat, you have to vote all Democrats, and if you vote Republican, you have to vote all Republicans. Like what the hell do names and campaign goals even mean if you don’t have the option to vote Democrat for one office, but might actually like the campaign goals of a Republican for another office?
It’s like what the hell do names even matter, if I’m a registered Democrat voter (which I am), then shouldn’t they already know how I’d vote anyways?
If I’m mistaken on any of this, by all means please let me know. Please be willing to educate inexperienced people as to how the voting process even works before giving them shit for not voting after trying, only for everyone still waiting to get sent home.
By not voting at all, you cemented Trump’s victory.
You don’t get to say “well I wanted it to be different” now.
Do better next time. Do something next time.
No, I didn’t cement any victory, I literally said I didn’t vote. The voters cemented his victory, not me.

Well riddle me this…
