    I like how this backs up the liberal assumption that your vote is somehow worth two votes because not voting also somehow gave an extra vote to the Republican.

      Voting Democrat: 1 vote for the Democrats

      Voting Republican: 2 votes for the Republicans

      Not voting: Somehow 4 votes for the Republicans

      Not being a registered voter: 20 votes for the republicans

      Not voting for the Democrats because you criticize them from the left: 8,000 votes for the Republicans

      it’s just electoral science :nate-silver:

        I’ve been told that literally the only thing I can ever do to hope to express political opinions is to vote, seems like anything other than the action that is like voting the most would be irresponsible.
