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

I mean, I place more of the blame for "ending the country" on the fascists and the people who enthusiastically put them into power, but if you want to blame the handful of people who abstained then you do you I guess
Abstaining is an active choice. For someone eligible to vote, there doesn't exist an "I opt out of any accountability for the outcome" option.
It's not though. In many states you literally need to leave work to vote. A choice which can cost you your job.
