You seem to think a lot of us who held our nose while voting for Harris didn't vote. We complained loudly about our options. We still voted against the bad man because we had no choice. The metric is smaller than you think.

No, I am stating that ~30% of the population didn't vote at all. Which is the metric.

Not whether or not progressives did or did not.

I am saying to remember the people who allowed these things to happen.

It might have been more than other elections (I'm conceding without checking), but a huge amount of people don't vote in every election. It should be mandatory, like Australia.
