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

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.

No amount of believing this makes it true.

The protest voters didn't meaningfully impact the election.

Young people voted the exact same as they do every election.

Even if every single gaza protester actually stayed home like you're pretending, it wouldn't be enough for the dems to win.

But you can make whatever excuses you want to hate your neighbors

Ignore the actual issue, cool.
