    People who can vote and do not could just as easily have been lazy Trump voters as anything else. They’re political dark matter. They don’t absolve a populace.

    “Of the people who didn’t bother to make a choice at all, maybe most of those didn’t want this” is not a compelling argument.

      The person above me said a majority voted for it and I corrected them. I’m not sure what relevance your comment has to our exchange.

      “Of the people who didn’t bother to make a choice at all, maybe most of those didn’t want this” is not a compelling argument.

      It’s just as well I didn’t make that argument then. I don’t appreciate being strawmanned.
