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

This was NOT the time to do this. This election was about the end of fucking democracy in the face of fascism and these abstainers wanted to pull teenage shit and fucking ended the country as we know it.

Now Gaza is getting wiped out because these abstainers couldn't abstract what a p2025 theocracy was going to do?

People were screaming about this for months. THIS election was an existential fight right now at home, and they chose to pull idealist teenage shit.

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
