      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

                    And when those non-voters leave the presidential ticket blank what then? you’re focusing on the wrong part; getting people to show up isnt the issue. they’ll show up if your candidates are not ass and you have a good ground game.
