America: Why didn't you vote?

Each day I read the news headlines or hear on TV what new and despicable act Donald tRump has committed to embarrass his country while acting OUTSIDE of the oaths and mandate of his office and at his own whim and egregiousness.
How such an embarrassing person continues to hold office without criticism or sanction tells me much about American pride - and what level it has allowed itself to deteriorate to.
Where were the sensible people who didn't vote when the past election was held? Why does this farce of statesmanship continue to rule your country?

Obviously there's no difference in the results we get with our two parties, they're politically identical.
People don't care enough to like, understand politics and have a third party that's different - one that opposes the genocide or the wars or the lack of socialism. People are pretty okay with the endless wars, the high US death rate and the low quality of life. They're pretty much not okay with the alternatives.

@Roundandroundwego I don't know if you like him or not, but Jeffrey Sachs has laid out a fair amount of (real) truth in the past few months.... look it up on Youtube if you're interested.

@JollyRoger he's been at it since before the internet.
Not like people aren't educated! They're conservative. they're getting democracy.
