78 million voted for Biden; 73 million voted for Trump. That’s 151 million who voted. The majority of the eligible voters DID vote. 80 million is a disinterested minority. You cannot take away the significance of Biden’s win.
Actually, while eighty million is more than voted for either candidate, more eligible voters voted than not. You mean a plurality of eligible voters did not vote, not a majority.
Biden won 75 million to 70 million, for a total of 145 million votes cast, the remaining 80 million would not be a majority as that is less than 145 million.

If it became a rule that only people who voted could complain, more people would vote.

I’m going to be that guy and point out that’s a plurality, not a majority.

The ones who stayed home on Election Day likely used a mail-in ballot.

As we have seen. Mrs. Apathy even advertised it!

If they can’t be bothered to vote and have never bothered to study the issues and the candidates, I see no problem with them not voting.

well, he didn’t win, but our current president is certainly apathetic in the face of the virus.

No, but they make the best subjects to a tyrant.

Not sure which would be worse. Narcissistic sociopath or Apathetic stay-at-home?
