I can be fine with this. The point is that those that wish to claim that silence is consent and, from that, not voting being a form of consent, have an obvious flaw in their logic. Silence is not necessarily consent. But more than that, refusing to vote is anything but silence.
If refusing to vote were 'silence' then there would be no conversation about it. But for being silent consent, it sure seems to create plenty of discussion and piss off the people who want the government that that 'silence' is allegedly consenting to.
