The majority of people don't want this. 36 percent of americans didn't vote.

That doesn't mean they don't want services, that means that in addition to 74 million that voted against trump, 90 million more also didn't want him.

No, it means that over a third of people DGAF. They neither do want it nor don't want it.

(It's like NULL values in SQL, only much worse because it's in real life.)

An indifference implies that there was going to be no difference to their daily life regardless of who was in office.

If nothing else, I do hope this 2nd trump administration wakes those indifferent up. Yes your choice matters. And yes, choosing nothing is a choice.

[behringer]

Doesn't matter the reason. The fact is, if they wanted trump, they would have voted for him.

[khazhoux]

Nope, those people don't count. You may as well point out that 89.7M dogs didn't vote for Trump.

The majority of people wanted this.

[behringer]

They absolutely count. The fact that you don't think so, says more about you than about them.

[khazhoux]

How can someone who couldn't be bothered to vote possibly count in a discussion of how many people support this administration? Putting aside people who were unable to vote, everyone who chose not to, absolutely 100% gave up their relevance in terms of what the people want. They took themselves out of the equation.

[behringer]

It doesn't matter if they did or not. If they supported Trump they would have voted. Ergo the majority of people don't support him. Non voters are still people, last I checked.

[khazhoux]

No -- the people who chose not to vote supported the decision of the people who did.
