I didn’t choose. I don’t really understand how that’s hard to wrap your head around, but good attempt your propagandist
You’ve already been told this ad infinitum, but for those who haven’t:
This person (and all other willing non voters) supported the Trump campaign through inaction. There were exactly 2 possible results of the presidential election. There was no “none of the above” option, every single eligible voter steered the ship in one of two ways: towards Trump or towards Harris. This is a mathematical fact that results from having a FPTP voting system. You will never have more than 2 possible outcomes.
The idea that “I didn’t vote so I’m not responsible! I didn’t check the ‘Trump’ box!” Is a fantasy created so they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. They may not have supported Trump as much as a red hat voting for him, but they definitely provided Trump more electoral support than Harris and that says quite a bit.
Maybe don’t scream “hey look everyone! I’m not an asshole!” immediately after doing some asshole shit? Have a nice day.
It’s your right not to choose. However not choosing means you didn’t engage with the system. Just accepting the outcome whatever it may be. Those who vote third-party also throw their votes away. Not helping anyone in the end. But at least they can say they tried to send a signal. Even if such signals are ignored.
