The US doesn't have a parliamentary system. It is winner take all. There are no votes of no-confidence. There are no coalition governments. The winner of the electoral college which is NOT popular vote gets full control with no oversight.
If you vote for a party that does not win, you get zero representation, not partial or proportional representation.
So abstaining truly does mean you don't care.
I don't even think it's a democracy
It most definitely is NOT. It's a oligarchian theocracy at this point and deserves to crumble.
