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

Except not voting does create change. Change to fascism.

Germany changed to fascism, and now look at them. The world united against them, and now they are a democracy again. Maybe it's like ripping off a bandaid. Or like addiction (in this case to money and greed), where you often have to hit rock bottom to truely recover. I have no idea. No one knows. So no point spending your hate on nonvoters, focus it on the ones actively doing wrong. And don't get distracted.

You are entirely missing the point. Inaction is an action in it of itself, they are actively doing wrong.

But more importantly, and a lot of people never seem to not understand this when I comment things, I can blame more than what target. Like, wild concept right? I am not lacking in hatred for this.

So you think it's fine that literal millions would die overthrowing fascism? It's just like ripping off a bandaid?
