You are making shit up. 1 plus 0 DOES NOT EQUAL 2.

Here is how the actual math works. Red Fascist gets 20 votes, Blue Fascist gets 19 votes if blue party has abandoned their liberal ideals in favor for “lesser evil” progressive fascism and I’m the only one who refuses to vote for genocide. That means the voting record is:

Model 1
Red Fascist: 20 votes
Blue Fascist: 19 votes
Disenfranchised voters: 1

If the people stop believing your made up bullshit, then they too could decide to stop voting for the death of America, stop voting for fascism, stop voting for genocide, etc.

Then the voting record is:

Model 2
Red Fascist: 10 votes
Blue Fascist: 10 votes
Disenfranchised voters: 20

Voter turnout is a massive factor in establishing the political ethos of the person in office. A person sitting on 98% turnout can say “I represent America” and has much better odds of pushing whatever genocide or tax break for billionaires they want.

A person sitting on a 50% turnout is going to have “you don’t represent the people” hurled at them at every turn, and they will have a much harder time sending another funding package to the genocide.

Under Model 1, neither fascist has anything to worry about. They have the world by the balls, their overlords are happy, and regardless of which cover the overlords put on their actions (red or blue), they will get their payout. Nothing changes. The whole system continues to decay.

Under Model 2, the fascists have a big problem. The world can see that the people don’t approve, the people see that the people don’t approve. Now there is fire on the heels of the fascists, and they might need to consider actually not being evil sometimes to encourage more people to vote again.

Even under a third model:

Model 3
Red Fascist: 20 votes
Blue Fascist: 10 votes
Disenfranchised voters: 10

After a really shitty 4 years, the Blue Fascists now have a reason to stop being fucking fascists to get the 10 disenfranchised voters back. They have incentive to actually combat the Red Fascists by trying to be GOOD instead of lesser evil.
