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

This isn't a good way of looking at it. You can only vote for the difference.
Say both sides want to genocide Gaza, you're against that, I'm against that, we're all against that but it's not on the ballot. By not voting you're agreeing that Gaza is something you'll have to manage outside of the electoral system BDS, protests, direct action... Whatever.... We both agree we have to do something about genocide other than vote.
However other things WERE on the ballot, immigrant rights, trans rights. By not voting or wasting your vote you let down those groups. You broke your promise to be in solidarity with them and now they're suffering.
Hey back in solidarity and act on all fronts including voting every time in the most effective way to support eachother.
What's Left by anarchist Malcolm Harris explains exactly this (and a whole lot more about how we beat the climate crisis through solidarity with various leftist factions).
