There’s probably no way of knowing the politics of those who failed to vote.

According to the United States Election Project, nearly half of eligible voters (46.9 percent of approximately 231,556,622 people) did not vote in the 2016 election.

That is my point about being true. 231MILLION people does NOT equal VOTERS. First the must be legal, then 18, then be registered. Bet next months check there are NOT that many voters in USA.

NO, not really subjective. We were not founded on socialist ideals and will not go there.

Ok, well I provided a professional source that tracks these things. What would your argument be, that all eligible voters are getting out and voting every time?

We’ve been there in one degree or another all along, unless you’re conflating socialism with communism as some erroneously do. The collective pays taxes which are then distributed for the common needs such as military, police, fire and rescue, welfare, roads and bridges, hospitals and schools, reservoirs and airports, national parks and monuments, a state department, environmental protection agency, consumer protection agency, border security, air traffic control, and I could go on and on all day.

My argument is EXACTLY as I stated, not that many VOTERS in USA. Last I heard there are about 300M PEOPLE here, and waaaay less than half the population are registered voters. Do the math.

Socialism is the gateway to communism. Taxes use for the CONSTITUTIONAL use is not socialism. Taxes improperly used to redistribute wealth IS socialism. BIG difference.

Im glad some didn't vote. Some voted twice. Some dead people voted. Some areas had more votes than registered voters in that area. Trump is the president and I am glad. Deal with it. Supreme Court appointment # 2. Now if RBG would retire or croak we will get # 3

There’s 340 million, and like I said, I cited a professional source, not just opinion.

And I’m sorry that you have a misunderstanding of democratic socialism.

So the op was a inquiry into how many forum members vote, not how they vote, which usually leads to quarrels. There have been many claims, but no court of law has concluded that dead people, or illegal people voted, or that anybody voted twice.

The important thing is that it’s America, we have a privilege that many in the world don’t have, and we should be exercising the franchise, regardless of our ideology and how we do it.

This is what happens from Democratic Socialism.!!!!
Couldn't help myself...

Maybe, maybe not but they have shown more votes than voters in some areas. That being said I stick by my thoughts/opinion.

Of course, it’s America. Thoughts and opinions should always be welcome.
