    No-vote doesn’t mean they are ok. If both candidates going to oppress your group, by not casting vote do you disagree with both or agree with the one who won?

    I’d argue no-vote actually goes against president who is constantly vetoing. If you look at those who didn’t vote as “don’t care” that means they are open to whatever new policy to come. Then they are not supporting president veto. How is 1/3 for president (for his veto power) more than 2/3 against president or “don’t care”?

    I’m not supporting no-vote stance. I think you still should vote for what is less evil for you personally. But some people just gave up on system.

    Didn’t get point about 20%, can you elaborate?

      In my you clearly agree with who wins. My point was that if you disagree with all, you go vote but in a way it is registered as “mistake/error/wrong” vote. That way you don’t vote for one, as you don’t like any and your vote still gets counted. No one can tell anyone that if a big percentage voted “wrong/erroneous” that all those were not able to vote. That does not happen, only if (at least the majority) did show with this that they did not want to vote for anyone. They wanted to vote and therefor gave their vote, but in a way it gets counted without giving the vote to anyone. If you stay away from voting, you are ok with whoever wins. Either way it’s already something wrong if you have to think about this situation.
