        Sure but a lot didn’t care. Less voters this time Trump votes stayed steady so. Lots of people who voted Biden where ok with Trump getting in.

          Roughly 1/3 of the voting age population.

          About 1/3rd of the voting age population do not vote.

          We’re outnumbered 2:1

          It’s not though. Voting is not mandatory and voter turnout in the US hovers only around 35-40% of the eligible population, on the high side.

                If a random comment on Lemmy would get a non-voter to vote or not vote then they’re pretty weak willed. Not voting should be a conscious decision.

                    In all honesty, what if there was a refundable tax credit for voting or something similar. Wouldn’t even have to be a lot. If you voted, claim $20 or something.

                    We’d still have a lot of non voters but I bet some would be swayed by being rewarded for voting

          Nope, 1/3 of the population never votes. That’s around 100 million people. And neither party has close to 50% of the US population, so it doesn’t come down to a little more than half no matter who wins.

            And the people that don’t vote don’t matter cause they don’t care either way.

              Or they do care but don’t see enough of a difference between parties to matter which is in power
