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

You compare voting to the laws of physics. They’re not even remotely similar. Politics is choice.

A more apt compatison would be a little kid crying that he wants a chocolate ice cream, his mum says he should order that, then to be funny/petulant/assertive he orders strawberry - and gets mad at his mum when the server gives him strawberry. “It was your job to make me choose what I wanted!”, he wails.

Your comparison is worse.

The options weren’t chocolate and vanilla. They were getting kicked down a steep hill or kicked off a cliff, and you seem flabbergasted that some people chose to flip the bird instead of groveling and thanking the democrats for only kicking them down a steep hill.

Especially when in the next 4 years their options are gonna be slightly steeper hill or another cliff.
