You need an actual opposition party then. Blaming non voters is the dumbest thing you can fucking do and will make your situation worse and worse

Right, because the people who voted against trump are the ones that can--in a single election--dismantle and oppressive two party system crafted by an oligarchy feeding people the illusion of choice so they won't riot. Of course the few of us who understand this and actually voted for the candidate with the best shot are able to do this. And of course we should have done this before all of the mass voter fraud being uncovered could lead to Trump taking an office he didn't actually win. You're absolutely right. Let me call everyone up and let them know we need to regroup.

You have no opposition party in America, your two party system also is a huge problem. In this way fascism will always win.

Correct. This is a major problem. The point is that it wasn't made by the people, and the few of us who understand how problematic it is can't simply make a new party and have it be successful. That doesn't fix the two party system. America is a shit show, but some of us are doing what we can, and that isn't enough but that's not our faults.

Exactly, so why are you blaming people if its not our faults? You are the one debating in defense of blaming people, voters, and non voters alike.

I'm not doing that. That's not what's happening. If you interpreted it that way, that is unfortunate. However, I am not, in fact, blaming people. Non voters couldn't have fixed this. Voters couldn't have fixed this. No one is being blamed. Except I'm kind of blaming you for not understanding what I said. But only kind of, and mostly as a joke.
