"Didn't vote" implicitly give their vote by saying that they don't care if any of them win.

Effectively they are giving 1/2 votes to each of their candidates, resulting in no change in the final result.

But, if you really want to be analytic, the higher the turnout of disaffected voters, the more likely they vote for Trump.

That's why, since 2016 or so, Trump always overperforms in general elections, while Democrats overperform in special/mid-term elections where the turnout is low.

So, these liberal/democrats copium about turnouts and non-votes no longer hold true. pre-2016 "Get out to Vote" were implicit Democrat crying calls to rally votes for the Democratic party. You still see people who haven't understood the underlying shift using this as a "dog whistle" to campaign for democrats while appearing neutral
