You cannot quantify how many people stayed home, nor their reason for doing so, but I did just quantify how many people voted third party. Everything else is conjecture.

Umm, you very much can. It's called knowing how many people voted, knowing how many people are in the U.S., and knowing how many are under 18, then everyone left over didn't vote.

245 million people were eligible to vote. Close to 90 million didn't.
