But there are elections where it's less wrong. I'm pretty sure Trump's team will be spreading progressive disillusionment. It will be progressives more likely to disengage, or splinter. Those same progressives can't then complain they got Trump. And maybe they won't get another real vote again to seperate him from power.
Non-voters, and third party voters, will be just as responsible as Trump voters for a Trump victory. That is the realpolitik.
Non voting is primarily determined by wealth. Blaming she poor for being poor is what's not ok.
That's not by choice. When it's not by choice, there isn't blame.
What makes it a choice?
Making the decision not having it made for you.
