I don't agree that not voting makes your opinion useless, there are many reasons to not vote and regardless of the outcome you're still dealing with consequences of which you can and should complain

i also agree but saying "i let the country decide" is huge snobbery

not voting doesn't make your opinion useless  but if you want to participate in political discussions despite deciding you don't care enough about the election to vote in it then you need a better reason than "i didn't like either of the candidates" because one of those candidates is going to win no matter if you vote or not, and it's statistically almost impossible to disagree with every single political stance both candidates have

[grue]

fair point

[Tempest]

Michael D. Higgins for President!

ill tell you what identity politics is: telling someone theyre just upset their guy didnt win, or calling them a liberal, either because they dont agree with you or, in the first case, for no reason at all

i think you mean calling someone a liberal literally in the same sentence you accuse them of calling you a trump supporter
