Can’t stress enough that if you think the USA is as bad as it is because not enough people got out to vote in 2016, you have so little idea how things work as to disqualify you from any serious political discussion. Go away.

2016 has become the defining mythology for liberals in regards to American collapse. It has nothing to do with worsening material conditions, reactionary trends that have been growing for decades, or the reliance of capitalism on ongoing crises. It’s your fault. You didn’t vote hard enough. You didn’t scold hard enough. But if you keep voting, and scolding people for not voting, forever, maybe things will get better. That’s the liberal explanation for the state of things. That’s their north star. That’s all they have.
