I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

No fucking shit, I'm tired of it, too. But grown ups deal with the choices in front of them instead of throwing a tantrum and trying to take their toys and go home. If the thing you really care about is Gaza and Palestinians, you have to deal with the immediate issue, which is that four years of active encouragement from Trump is going to do a fuckload of damage that can't just be undone, even if your protest does encourage some change from Democrats. Now, Democrats don't seem to have learned a fucking thing, and Trump is trying to make american soldiers active participants. I understand why you're upset and why you want change, but the tactics you're using are actively making things worse. And then, when your protest vote ushers in "the doom of the USA", who do you blame? The people you refused to vote for because somehow, the greater evil was preferable to the lesser evil.
