Not voting was saying OK to Trump, fully knowing what's coming. This "less than 50%" argument doesn't stand, especially because the winner got proper majority of the casted votes.

This is actually untrue. 2024 was one of those elections where both candidates were so bad, that the winner didn't even need 50% of the cast votes. More and more of those lately, but there it is.
You'll not that Trump and Vance got 49.1% of the popular vote, and Kamala and Walz got 48.3% of the popular vote. They, none of them, could even muster 50%.
