  • Look at your own map you posted. Then think about how much influence the non voters could have had. Given the fact that it’s apparently more than half the population it would have made a huge difference. Possibly with a very different election outcome. just because it feels like it doesn’t matter doesn’t make it true. Every vote changes the result after all. Even in a system that has flaws.

    While it’s not great to pick a side that you don’t quite believe in it’s still better than not voting because that only helps the side that you really don’t want to see win. Which is exactly what happened. That is in my humble opinion the real shortsighted and naive thing Going on here.


  • There is this saying : if you didn’t exercise your right to vote, you don’t have the right to complain about the election results either.

    Not voting is effectively saying : “don’t care, either is good for me.” So… Yes you did choose this result by virtue of not making your opinion heard when you were asked for your opinion.



  • There were some rather in detail answers already to which I could add. But instead I am going with a more simple answer that is hopefully also good.

    Basically, bad actors want to stay undetected if possible. Like staying in dark places with dark clothing and not making noise. trying to get your own subdomain is more like wearing a high Vis jacket, having Christmas lights on you and broadcasting your presence with a loudspeaker with something like “catch me if you can!” on repeat.

    Or even simpler: getting detected is bad for bad actors, doing that is one great way to get detected, they know that so they don’t do that.

    Or metaphorically: a drop of water in the ocean won’t get noticed, rain in the desert will.

    At the end of the day it’s not about what you can do but if you should do that.
