Probably shouldn’t let the non-voters off completely.
Do you have any reason to think that non-voters would have broken differently than voters?
Most non-voters probably saw that their state was strongly going either R or D, and correctly assumed their vote wasn't going to make a difference.
Nope, all I have is the concrete fact that they didn’t even TRY. I’m also a D in a heavily R State who knew my vote wouldn’t matter, but it does at least affect the overall count show that no, Donnie doesn’t have “overwhelming support” or a “mandate”.
If that makes you feel better, that's great. But, the rest of the world knows he does have a mandate, this is who America is now. People are just deluding themselves to try to feel better by blaming it on non-voters.
The smallest margin of victory in American electoral history is a "mandate" now
I blame many of them more than the Trumpers. Trump voters are just idiots, non-voters, however, are below the idiots. Fucking assholes.
