The average stay-away from national elections in the US is around 48%. We have one of the lowest voter-rates of any developed country.
It's "the system". Many people, especially on this forum, believe that the Electoral College (as it stands) needs no remedy. It is, rather, a huge-injustice to what some people call "democracy".
You forget that this is a "debate forum" and not a "message board". Though the one-liner messages here show just the opposite.

Fiddlesticks!
- If people don't vote, they are voting for the winner

- ....which is why "It's not fair!" is an argument that might be expected to call flak in a forum.
