Also, only about 65% of all registered voters actually vote (this is not an exact number, I only remember roughly where the statistic lies). That's somewhere around 50% of all persons of voting age. Not only are most American voters voting against who scares them the most, a large portion of the remaining population is simply apathetic (or spiteful even).
