        Not voting is the decision that you are fine with tyranny, bigotry, or what ever. So the non voter May as well believe in what ever the winner believes and be treated as such.

          There’s different reasons to not vote.

          Some are disengaged. They don’t watch or read news, they often don’t even know what’s going on in the world around them.

          Some are disenfranchised. There are obstacles that make voting difficult and confusing, and sometimes even impossible.

          Some are dejected. After every election the Democrats mostly fail to help the people they promise to help during the elections.

          Turnout is way down. We have to analyze why, not just lump them in with MAGA.

            A vote not cast mathematically is equivalent to vote to the winner. There are tons of reasons one might have to abstain, but it’s their responsibility to acknowledge that them not voting against the winner helped the winner win. Now, if they don’t care that’s another matter, but that they facilitated the winner to win is true.

            Killing someone out of negligence is still killing and still a crime.

            I don’t see why the decision to not vote wouldn’t still be a decision for whatever the outcome of not voting is.
