It's like the people who try to run from the cops and then once they get caught and asked why they did it, they say "because I didn't want to go to jail." My bro you have articulated the problem and I get it, but the solution you have chosen is going to make it quite a lot worse.
Maybe people who don't vote are not trying to express dissatisfaction. Maybe they feel like there are more productive uses of their time.
(I usually vote. But in my area, my preferred candidates have no serious chance of winning. Meh. Everyone's equal on election day, but only if they're in a swing state (or district).)
Yeah because it means you actually think votes have some correlation with outcomes. Pretty dang stupid.
