In a democracy anyone wo doesn't vote should be considered to have voted for the winner as they were equally OK with any outcome.

In most states the electoral college representatives are not meaningfully bound to the vote as popularly voted. It is more of a cast for a suggestion, and they have on many occasions voted a different way in the college which is the real vote for president.
Perhaps, but the US isn't a functioning democracy.
