          Just gonna point out that only like 40-60 percent of the country votes on any given election year. So being generous Trump was only voted in by about thirty percent of the population at most.

            If you don’t vote even if you can your vote goes to the extremist party automatically. You can’ not vote and then claim you were against it. If you really were, you would have voted against it, even if the alternative wasn’t good either.

            Alright nitpick #2 “half of the people of the United States that are adults and citizens” y’all are so autistic sometimes. Just understand the intention of the comment and move on. I don’t need you to give me an aKcHuAlLy comment.

              But it’s not even half of adults and citizens, only 40-60% of eligible voters even vote, so if you were counting children it would be even lower than 1/3. Probably as low as 1/4
