Are you counting all the non voters as votes for the dems? That's absurd.
And even then you can still say if you live in a non swing blue state you should protest vote because it's fucking genocide and endless proxy wars. The system is fundamentally broken. Leadership has long betrayed the people.
I understand voting for the option that's only 80% evil instead of 95% evil but if you live in an area that can make a protest vote towards the 80% evil you should still consider it
No.
I'm pointing out that in the absolutely most trumpy state in the union, trump still didn't get a majority of the possible to votes. Republicans can still lose in the state the dominate the most, same goes for Democrats. If you stand around with your thumb up your ass, your head in the sand hold your vote, then you're really just voting for the worst possible outcome.
