oooh the Silent Majorty stands with us!

yeah, sure

meanwhile, the actual majority is sleeping though this. Just like they sleep through every election cycle. If you could somehow ran on "oh, was that today? I had no idea" you would be the eternal incumbent

In China that would result in the election having to be redone at a lower level lol^[allegedly, I haven't found much text about chinese democracy, but as far as I can tell that's sort of how it works. Same way it works in an unspecified african country I cannot recall the name of lol]

Most have correctly realized that bourgeois democracy is a sham for working people

I’m not an American, but in my country from what I’ve read our non voters when polled on who they would have voted for if forced to generally vote along similar lines as what the election reflected (with some outlier areas obviously.) Is it similar in the states? Or does it skew heavily to one side?

Looked it up, for 2018-2022 non-voters are split with a slight lead towards Republicans (46%v41%).

Are you saying the solution to people not caring who becomes president is to force them to vote by gunpoint

It’s also so awesome that even though people voted one way, it turned out the opposite anyway due to bullshit
