    Don’t worry, you can take the path of the president you didn’t vote for, yet helped elect and deny responsibility for your own actions. Like at work when they ask you if you’d rather work all weekend without pay or with pay, and you don’t want to work the weekend at all so you just let everyone else decide for you. It may not be the best move, but it’s the best move you can bring yourself to commit to.

      I’m only responsible for my own actions, just as everyone else is responsible for theirs

        True enough, and while I personally believe that anyone who has an opinion (and an opportunity to act on it to avoid a collapse of the society they participate in) and fails to act on it is acting irresponsibly, it really doesn’t matter what I think, and it shouldn’t matter to you. Yet if you come into a politically charged and admit to being proud to have not voted, I suspect you expected some judgement to come at you.

          if you come into a politically charged and admit to being proud to have not voted

          that didn’t happen. you’re making leaps of logic.
