I could say indifference IS better than malice or willful ignorance... but, this could easily be disregarded as desire to ignore the greater concern (which I think you're driving at) MLK's expression of, "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." Comes to mind. Sure, we're getting philosophical... but I couldn't refute that standing, without deploying willfull ignorance of my own.

I am, vehemently, clinging onto the notion that people in my country are ignorant and lazy, rather than fully malicious... I can stomach the former far easier.

I get it... and I earnestly agree with most of your sentiments. I'm probably just clinging to hope that people aren't such disappointments as to WANT it, so much as "not care enough" to avoid it. (If that is even somehow better)

He didn't, he got 49.8% of the votes cast for president. The majority of votes were cast for others.

We already had enough Democrats to do that. But the Dem leadership decided that they'd rather let Trump win, then let the country move to the left.

I'm talking about cases where people are purged from voter registration rolls at the last minute without notice and then show up and can't vote because they don't have same-day registration. Or places where a district of 100,000 people have only one polling location and it isn't staffed properly. Or where the polling location is miles away in a country famous for its lack of public transit, with many poor people unable to drive or arrange transportation. Or polling places in blue districts closing early even when people are still in line. I'm not saying not to vote, I'm just saying that it's probably good to understand that some people are not voting not because apathy, as is commonly spouted on the Internet
