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

Voting is a collective exercise. Because you voted, and you didn't get the outcome, doesn't mean your vote didn't matter.
Don't let that feeling stop you from doing everything required to make sure your vote is cast (and counted), especially moving forward.
You misunderstand. It's not that my candidate lost, it's that I live in a solid blue state that has zero impact on the outcome of U.S. elections.
I'll continue to vote, but I gave up on the idea that electoralism is part of the solution when the DNC shut Bernie out of the primary in 2016 then won a legal case that sanctified their right to do so.
Better yet: vote with the expectation of defeat so you’re pleasantly surprised instead of constantly disappointed
