        Wow, it's almost like some Americans found both candidates unpalatable and didn't want to vote for anyone. Shocker.

        White voters voting for Trump by a big margin is actually why he won. They, maybe, could have been less in love with a Fascist

        Stayed home? Or gave up on the endless task of fighting the hurdles imposed against their right to vote?

        It's important to remember, because the wording suggests that it was laziness or apathy, to blame on the non-voters.

        The article reflects that, too, the attitude of "If only these apathetic voters had VOTED, we'd..."
