    No, it was also about 30% for Trump. Most people just don’t vote at all and the electoral college was designed to bypass popular votes.

      Not voting is a choice. It means “I don’t mind if Trump will be our glorious leader”. Most americans voted for Trump actively or passively. The only people who’re off the hook are children, deeply ill, and prisoners.
      There is some number of people who voted but who’s vote for some reason wasn’t counted, but that’s margins compared to tens of millions who just didn’t

      Yes that’s why I was very careful to say “voters” and not "Americans.

      If you’re considering all members of the population, then the % of Germans who voted for the Nazis was closer to 20%.

      America is an absolute embarrassment.
