That makes total sense in a world were people can see the Future and hence know when they're choosing not to vote who is going to end up winning.

In the real world, that's not the case - in the absence of foreknowledge of the outcome, not voting is logically nothing more than leaving the choice to others.

Which brings us neatly around to it being up to politicians to make people want to actually chose them (which amongst other things means converting people unwilling to make a choice into people who chose them), which the Democrat leadership failed miserably to do compare to the Republicans, hence the outcome.

There are only two groups of people to blame for Trump:

  • Those who voted for him
  • Those who didn't even seriously try to make people want to chose them instead of leaving the choice to others or chosing Trump.
