It always annoys me when someone trots out this hoary old chestnut, because it's not true. That's not the way it works.

I suspect that right will be removed for us by the incoming administration, as soon as they find someone to burn the Reichstag for them. But that's not the way it works.

Instead, this time around, thanks to the way the electoral system works, an uncast vote was effectively a vote for Chump. So thanks for that, abstainers. We'll see how your principled indifference plays out for everybody.
