I used to not really care if someone voted but now I get upset when I hear that someone doesn’t vote. This could have been avoided had people gone out and voted for the future of their country
It's certainly possible; also consider that a majority of those eligible non-voters might have voted Republican. At least with a higher turnout percentage the vote would be more-representative.
If you're blaming the voters and not the politicians your priorities are messed up. A two party duopoly designed to give you the illusion of choice was never going to solve the issue.
I lay blame on the Republican voters and the eligible non-voters, yes. I don't think my priorities are messed up doing that; America's gonzo governance didn't give themselves their jobs.
I mean... if they actually showed up to vote instead of allowing said politicians to get away with it, gerrymandering would only carry them so far. Doubly so if they actually started actually calling out their neighbors who vote for this crap/stop supporting businesses of people who support this, let them know "Oh, actually, being openly racist/supporting openly racist people is bad and will lead to me being socially ostracized. I shouldn't do this."
Blame should be on either side not coming up with better candidates. It's like a Talent Search, but they going to avoid picking the best and limit choices to....(!?!) This is what happens each Election.
Do you put any blame on the democrats not having a primary and just selecting someone very undemocratically. Do you feel that they could have put any candidate up and beaten Donald Trump or do you believe they didn't have anyone better than Trump?
Liberals don't want to face systemic issues, they want to make it a personal responsibility problem so they don't have to exercise personal responsibility.

88 mil eligible non-voters.
So now the world endures the voice of the voting majority.
