    Please stop using that logic. The people that voted is a representative sample of the population, done. Is you’d forced every one of voting she to vote then it probably would have been similar result. Because people that didn’t want to go both will have their vote split randomly to candidates.

    Honestly given these two choices, not voting means you’re ok with either.

      This completely ignores both jerrymandering and voter suppression, both things real and impactful in US voting outcomes.
