    In the link you sent it says 36% of eligible voters did not vote, which is not a majority. The “did not vote winning the election” is a different stat than “majority did/didn’t vote”

      Sorry, you’re right. I didn’t see “majority” in your comment, I’ll edit mine. Technically, a majority of people voted, but 90 million people did not. More than voters of either party, but not combined.

        This makes sense. But yeah semantics aside, over a third not voting is terrible regardless. When I was young I didn’t understand the people pushing to vote but now I’m older… I get it. Seeing so many people not care, or suppressed and not getting votes in, it’s disheartening to say the least. We really dropped the ball, down a hill, into a manure lagoon
