    People who don’t vote in protest are an example of how idiotic Americans are, and why I think the post is fallacious.

      That’s not a fallacy.

        Oversimplification is a fallacy. “Just get everyone to vote” ignores a lot of other problems. Like the intelligence of the general public.

          That’s still not a fallacy.

              Wrong (which I don’t necessarily agree with) does not mean a fallacy. A fallacy is incorrect logic pathway. You can make a wrong argument and that does not make it a fallacy.

                Tried and true Internet argument strategy of whining about an inconsequential detail instead of the issue at hand. Nice one.
