Trump is very popular among low-information citizens. If you corralled more of them into voting, he would have won by more. Call me an elitist, but at this point we'd be much better off if ignorant people stopped voting.
The only people who matter in an election are the voters so I'm always perplexed so many feel comfortable blaming non voters for the problems voters made.
This non voter shaming is quickly eroded as soon as you ask voters if non voting is an issue. They will report it that is is a huge problem. Then ask what candidates or parties support mandatory voting and you'll get crickets.
That's because it has nothing do with tackling the perceived problem of non voters and all to do with virtue signalling that you vote.
