Because you now did it to yourself.

    The non-voters had nothing to do with this. They literally did not participate.

    Any real democracy would count the non-voters as part of the results. 20M not voting? OK then, any policies that affect everyone can no longer be enacted. No new laws. No new wars. Government can then maintain plumbing and provide public services, that’s it.

    Why isn’t that the case? Why is it not a requirement for people to vote for government to have power?

    Democracy…? Sure. Whatever hope you need to feel, friend, see you in the streets I hope.

      Why isn’t that the case?

      There is no law in the US mandating that people vote. I can only speculate as to how that started, and why that’s still the case.
