assuming you did, are you satisfied with the outcome of the process you engaged in?

Seems completely irrelevant? You were arguing that non-voters had no role in a candidate winning, and now you're pivoting to "but was your vote satisfying." Do you have a point or is this just general misanthropy?

People don't vote because it's perfectly satisfying every time, or they expect to win every time. That's a pretty childish way to look at the democratic process. But if you believe the current president is obviously terrible and you wonder, aloud, how he came to power, revealing that you didn't vote is bound to earn you some groans.
