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

I will never look down on someone who voted or refused to vote because of thier conscience.

You should. They only bring about worse situations at best. Pretending to be moral when what you're doing is the opposite is pure hypocrisy.

Remember, the most constructive thing you can do is get mad at other, equally powerless people like yourself! This is how political change happens.

Remember! People aren't powerless! Voting is a power! Not voting is not how political change happens

that's a good point

I wonder what would happen if the Democrats tried to activate those chronic non-voters, rather than trying to flip those moderate republicans i keep being told are real

It really does baffle me that some people think a lack of an effort will bring about change.
