“Some civil wars happen when a political conflict cant be resolved at the political level.”
We havent even had 65% eligible voter turnout in presidential since 1908. Off year congressional elections average around 40%, way less for local elections. Most of the time the national popular vote is won by less than 5%. All campaign money is meant to sway the swayable into voting one way or another or even to vote or not vote at all. And supposedly the swayable decide elections, the so-called ‘swing voter’.
Its pretty amazing if true, that the dumbest 10% of voters who somehow still manage to vote actually determines political winners based on who can sway them that cycle. So no matter who wins, dem or pub, con or lib, the dumbest decide the outcome for reasons that don’t comport rationally with any type of coherent political philosophy they can articulate. One time they might vote for someone because they seem well spoken, another time they vote for someone who is physically attractive or ahead in the polls or whatever. Dem or pub has nothing to do with it for them.
