    Fuck no, no voting protest voters are part of the reason we have this sweeping fascist rule in our country. So no, they don’t get a boo hoo pass on that shit.

      The reason you have sweeping fascist rule in your country is because you have tonnes of people who are okay with that.

      Seriously, you can blame those that didn’t vote as much as you want, but you’re just averting your eyes from the real problem, as far as I can tell.

        90 million registered voters didn’t vote, the most in US history. Please share what you have that points to the protest vote being a small percentage of that 90 million.

        I’d love to see hard data, if it exists. Not holding my breath.

          66% turnout rate in 2020 64% turnout rate in 2024

          So about 8 million less voters. Let’s assume there are all protest voters.

          So less than 10% of non voters did so as a protest.

            You’re assuming the amount of people that signed their little pointless petition is 1:1 with those that actually protest voted because memes told them to.

                It’s common knowledge that protest voters didn’t vote. It’s even in the name. You are making the claim that it’s an insignificant amount.

                The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. That’s you, buddy.

                  You are making the claim that it’s an insignificant amount.

                  Are you making the claim that all 120mn that didn’t vote were protesters?

                  Likewise, you cannot make the claim that an entire group is something. You need proof to substantiate your positive claim, not the negative. I have given my proof already

                    I don’t know where you get the 120 from, but that’s also not the claim I’m making.

                    1. Stop putting words in my mouth.
                    2. Leave the strawman alone and read more carefully.
