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

Probably not helpful to be this divisive with your anti trump allies. Whether in your eyes the abstention voters made a mistake or not, we’re going to need all the solidarity we can get to oppose/survive this administration

We can’t change the past, so the only choice we have is to work together to start fixing this situation. I understand why they did it, but they refused to think about how their actions would affect the larger outcome. We shouldn’t let abstention voters forget the role they played in getting us into this mess while we encourage them to make better (or at least less bad choices) in the future.

These people pretend to be allies until the next election season where when they don’t get exactly what they want, rabidly push everyone to not vote or vote fascist.

“These people” are strawmen you have been fooled into hating

Nope, they are people that didn’t vote against this stupidity we all saw coming. One candidate was going to paint the house red but could be talked to, the other one owns a red-paint business and ran on burning the house down, and “these people” didn’t vote because they wanted the the house painted green. Fools. It isn’t cope or strawmen, it is observation and you are coming up with any way to save face or feel better about your dire mistake.

My anti-trump allies voted against trump, the rest of you are complicit in enabling his plutocracy.
