"This isn't complicated."


Uh huh...why do you keep falling at the first hurdle then?

"People choose to vote, ergo they choose not to."

No Keith it's even simpler: People vote or don't.

"You are as unable to infer people's reasons for voting as you are to infer people's reasons for abstaining."

And again at the second hurdle...you are presuming all non-votes are reasoned & deliberate "abstentions": we've been through this twice now: see above.


You could go on again for the hat-trick to repeat your claim that they did so for reasons that makes them collectively " winners"...but I'm assuming you have at least worked out the folly of falling at the third hurdle too and dropped that one.
