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

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.
See, what you're doing is pretending that there was a third option of walking away and flipping the bird, when in reality that was never a choice.
Bingo
Instead of choosing to die off the cliff, they should have chosen the steep hill and then climbed back up to kick ass for having been kicked down a hill.
Apparently they'd rather choose the obviously far inferior of two options (even in their own analogy) and then complain about how bad it is, because at least they didn't have to grovel?
Pointless to engage further I think.
Yeah, I don't think their analogy suggests what they think it suggests.
They tell us the two options right there, and then immediately say they chose a nonexistent third option of walking away... Very apt comparison, just not in the way that they think.
