More like, if you don't vote, you're agreeing with the majority, which is almost the same as voting for the party that wins.
Nah, if you don't vote, you simply didn't care enough to vote, or were unable to for some reason, it doesn't say anything about your political affiliations, or possibly, lack thereof.

"None of the above" should be an option.

Nah, I save that for my idiot cousins. I'm certain that if they destroyed the world it would not have been their original intent.

My point is -- it is indeed an option for you.

I think it's a nod to the controversy over People-First language and Disability-first language; At the worst, it's like: Should we reduce this person's entire being to this one particular characteristic, or should we just treat it like some incidental detail that can be ignored (or something that just happened to them)? In my case, as you could have probably divined from my negative phrasing of both options, I don't particularly care either way. I guess for me, it'd depend on the situation and how relevant my autism is to it.
