oooh the Silent Majorty stands with us!
yeah, sure
meanwhile, the actual majority is sleeping though this. Just like they sleep through every election cycle. If you could somehow ran on "oh, was that today? I had no idea" you would be the eternal incumbent
I think in a true democracy if the majority of people don't vote, the election needs to be run again with different candidates
But the US told me that the Soviet Union was an evil anti-democracy where no one has a say!
Was this “post Soviet”? I can’t find anything about it being during the USSR
Did you mean to ask @Collatz_problem@hexbear.net that? Lol
Post-Soviet states inherited it, but as far as I know all of them removed this option since.
Most have correctly realized that bourgeois democracy is a sham for working people
I’m not an American, but in my country from what I’ve read our non voters when polled on who they would have voted for if forced to generally vote along similar lines as what the election reflected (with some outlier areas obviously.) Is it similar in the states? Or does it skew heavily to one side?
Looked it up, for 2018-2022 non-voters are split with a slight lead towards Republicans (46%v41%).
PEW article as sourceAre you saying the solution to people not caring who becomes president is to force them to vote by gunpoint
It’s also so awesome that even though people voted one way, it turned out the opposite anyway due to bullshit
