But people did vote for Hillary, IIRC, she won the popular vote by like 3 million votes.

So it wasnt a lack of voting that gave trump the presidency and repealed abortion rights. It was the mecanisms and institutions that are part of your electoral process and that only seem to exist in order to dilute your democracy (e. voting districts, electoral college) that gave trump the win.

Perhaps people would be more willing to vote if their voices were actually heard.

Okay this one went over my head. What's happening here?

Kinda irrelevant but frustrating that someone down voted you for being genuinely curious about something that could have a huge impact on the future of our country -_-

Seems like Lemmy has a lot in common with Reddit
