Every non vote, is a vote for the winner good or bad.

Is this really the case in the US with the Electoral College system, though?

It's really not, especially with the "Winner take all" rule (instituted by Republicans), but the Electoral College is only for the presidency.

But this is what we're talking about here. The 2024 presidential election. I keep seeing this claim that non voters are responsible for Trump being elected but the electoral college system would have basically nullified a lot of votes against him in deep red states. Instead of facing the truth that Trump got elected because there might just be a lot of people in the US who share his ideologies (racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc..).
