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

The DNC spent a billion dollars to lose an election to a racist rapist. Again.* All their fancy political science degrees and polls and data analytics amounted to jack shit. We don't blame the passengers when a 737-Max flies into the ground, we blame the so-called experts who fucked up so badly they should fall on their swords.
They also pulled some insane unforced errors like campaigning with a Cheney and letting off on the "weird" stuff that was actually getting traction. They're playing a political game that stopped working in 1976, that people want bipartisanship and decorum.
The entire party is composed of Leslie Knopes, except without the charm or empathy. They'd point to graphs of median wage growth and tell people their grocery bills didn't matter. They're a bunch of rich nerds, just like the Republicans are rich jocks.
Wow look another awful analogy... If planes were piloted democratically by the passengers, then yeah they'd at the very least, share part of the blame.
Anything to avoid blaming the leaders who flee the campaign into the ground, right?
Check this out: more than one person can be to blame for something. Crazy, right?
Yes, and there’s lots of people at the DNC we can blame.
But if an ignorant animal does something destructive you don’t blame the animal, you blame the person who was supposed to keep them from doing it.
Another garbage analogy... If the animal had the intelligence level, sentience, and complex society on par with humans, then yes I would blame them.
You could literally use that analogy for any person doing anything destructive, making nobody ever responsible for their destructive actions.
But over in another comment you agree with me that voters are ignorant. So which is it, are they intelligent and sentient or are they ignorant, dumb, panicky animals?
And if voters are intelligent and sentient, why does it cost a billion dollars to get them to vote?
And if they're intelligent, maybe we're both wrong and they made the intelligent choice by not voting and letting Trump win.
