40% is much higher than I would've estimated that figure to be. That's interesting.
I wish nobody won if a majority didn't vote. I'd be trying to convince people not to vote. It would really be something to see that office sit empty for 4 years.
But the sad fact is that it would just mean the minority gets to decide, and democracy would fail even it's most basic objective.
I wish the 2-party system wasn't so adhered to. The 3rd parties had a real chance in 2016 and all of their candidates, especially Gary Johnson,came across as lunatics. Of course the media contributed very heavily to this as they quickly mobilized to make Stein and Johnson look like awful choices so they could protect Hillary.
I think your assessment is correct though, when they do lose again, and I think they definitely will - they will blame everything except the corrupt as hell DNC and also Biden, who might be the weakest candidate I have ever seen in my lifetime. He could end up really embarrassing himself in the debates, should they happen. At least it will make for some fun clips and memes.
"...roughly 40% of Americans do not vote."

Who said that the 40 percent in the middle did not vote in 2016?
