She warned us all so many fucking times. It's a shame 27% of the population refused to listen.

Thank you for actually listing the accurate % of people who voted for this orange baffoon. One pet peeve of mine is the constant, majority of people voted for him. Ugh no, only a small % of eligble voters voted for him, everybody else chose another candidate or did not vote.😒

ETA: Yes those who did not vote are complicit too but are we all not complicit in the inhumane travesties that affect our society on a daily basis even though our actions or lack thereof are indirectly contributing to the travesties. Not a single one of us is perfect nor has our hands clean. Non voters chose the indirect action to not vote even though a non vote led to this clown disaster. The low voter turn out is indictative of a much larger issue at hand as to why eligible voters are choosing not to vote: selfishness, lack of education, lack of resources to vote, not caring about any of the candidates etc. The last time we had a high % of voter turnout was with Obama. The Dems need to get back to what went right there and build on it and also grow a fucking spine. The Republican Party does not give a damn about working with them, they live by "rules for thee but not for me."😒

Our biggest issue as a country is the lack of voter participation. Only less than half of the eligible voters actually vote.

It's insane how difficult it is to vote in the US. Imagine if the election was a public holiday. Turnout would be so different.

We recently had a State Election in Western Australia, there was three voting centres within a 5 minute walk from my house. When I got there, there was 4 people in the line ahead of me

I'm in Estonia and we have digital voting (in addition the voting booths). So it took me 2 min on the computer and done.

I also don't get the having to registrate to be able to vote. If you're a citizen of X town why isn't it just possible to vote? It's how it works here. Everybody is registered as a citizen in some city and is voting according to that.
