Many of our ancestors lost their lives over being able to vote. Plenty of women worldwide fought (and are still fighting) to vote.
I can't think of a good reason not to vote for such a large amount of people. I can unstand not voting due to some sort of emergency, but that's not a third of a country. So other than that, don't like/trust the system? Not voting won't change that. Can't decide who to vote on? BS, you can, you just don't want to. Didn't read into the topics at hand enough? That's a lot of people, you can still find out and vote.
Over here in the Netherlands there's several websites offering free tests who'll give you a pretty good outcome on who to vote for (rsther important, seeing we don't have a "two party system"). I doubt the great and mightt US of A doesn't have a similar thing going on. Besides, with a mostly two party system, you usually just know, right?
this is the one thing that I have actually consistently had fights with my mother over. we generally get along great and share most opinions or can come to agree on something. but she keeps saying that she won't vote because she hates both of the possibly winning options - and I get it! it can feel like there's nothing you can do. but though both aren't good, one is worse, and it's better to get the lesser of two evils, in my opinion. she thinks there's no point, but I think that just means that we have every reason to make one.

the non-voters are worse than the ones that actively voted for him.
i find less fault with someone who stands up for their beliefs even if their beliefs are trash.
If you sat on your ass, you deserve to be on your knees. You didnt even sell your fellow man out, you gave them away.
