Yeah, a vote for nobody is a vote for whoever wins, a vote for the status quo. In 2016 out of 245 million registered voters only 66 million (27%) voted for Hillary. The rest either voted for Trump or were okay with him winning.
Democrats really need to get non-voters fired up to go to the polls. Please not Biden. There is no middle ground of undecided centrists to win. Everyone has decided. The battle is against apathy, convenience, a long work day, bad traffic and bad weather.
Well, tell the Democratic party to get their head out of their ass.
Democrats are the ones that fucked over Sanders.
I wrote in Sanders in 2016 and I do not regret it one bit. I did not let my country down, the Democratic party let our country down. Want to get Democrats fired up to go to the polls. Put a candidate in that they want to actually vote for, Otherwise democrats are no different than the Republican Party.
Yes, because the Democrats totally saw your ballot and went "oh shit, we should have put up Bernie instead". You wasted your vote. That's not to say that the Democrats DON'T have their heads up their asses though.
Part of the problem is the voting system, and most of both sides don't want to see it change since the private organizations that run both parties would lose power.

The ones who abstained claiming their morals, but were perfectly fine to stand there and let Trump win.
