clearly it's more than half...

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.

The non-voters are also dumb.

Once you take into account registered voters versus eligible citizens, and the turnout of registered voters... It actually comes out to more like 25% of eligible citizens actually voting, and that's on the high side.

like the other commenter said, both trump voters as people who do not vote are stupid (except for those who were physically unable to vote in any way)

I mean they may or may not be stupid, but you can guarantee that issues like rape, solvency, bigotry, tyranny, autonomy, and religious freedom, are all not a concern to them. At least until it suddenly is.

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.

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee -1 points 2 weeks ago

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