"Staying home" is the unfortunate story of American democracy, at least in last 100 years. 60-65% turnout should be considered shameful, it's not a democracy. As long as POTUS are elected by less than 1/3 of the eligible voters, all the debate and complaining is just whistling in the wind. It's minority government, and all you're going to get. Maybe what an apathetic citizenry deserves. Great book everyone who cares should read: "White Poverty" by William Barber (has all the numbers and a core reason behind "minority rule."
