Eligible voter turnout in 2024 was <50% for 18-24 year olds, and <65% for 25-44 year olds in the US.


Unless 100% of people vote it doesnt count as voting?

Any idea is worth entertaining, to avoid the realization the purity spiraling ideology is just as reviled by 90 % of the people as is racism.

People who don't vote don't oppose the winner.

I think my idea for this is that a candidate doesn’t win the election unless they get more than 50% of all eligible votes, not 50% of the votes cast. If there is no clear winner the seat is vacant, but a new election is scheduled for two weeks later. Districts and states that don’t care to vote simply don’t get a say.

The New England Patriots lost the 2026 Superbowl, and that list of losers includes all the second and third stringers who didn't play.

Because people in safe demographics (non minority, no care about reproductive rights) love to broadcast 'both sides are the same'.
