          This comment exposes a significant lack of understanding of even the basics of the US election system.

              In a 2-party system, a vote for one party makes the other party more likely to lose (depending on where you live etc).

              A vote for a third-party is effectively not much different than spoiling your ballot. It says you’re okay with sacrificing your vote to send a message, but you don’t care which of the two parties wins. Either is fine for you.

              Not voting is worse than voting third-party or spoiling your ballot. It sends the message that either of the 2 parties is fine for you. That’s it.

              So consider that if you think you sent a message against the Democrats with your vote. Because most people probably just sent the message that they don’t care if Trump wins, and they don’t care if Harris wins.

                  Why would any politician care about people who don’t vote?

                  Historically, it’s easier for them to campaign in swing states than to get non-voters to vote.

                  As well, not voting doesn’t send a clear message. That might’ve been your message. 9,699,998 of the others might’ve just not voted for Harris because she’s a woman. Who knows? Not the politicians, because they’re not on Lemmy.
