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

Sure, the material consequences if you, specifically, live in a swing state. I do, so I voted for Kamala. But this take, applied outside of states that were up for grabs, is asinine. But hey, nuance is for people who don't want to just keep trying the same failed approach to presidential elections every 4 years and would rather bitch about anyone less moderate than them.
What take? Philly D's post question or my own response to it? (/gen I am just missing what you are referring to promise!)
I took your response to be supportive of Philly D's post, but sorry if I misunderstood.
Yeah no worries I was more looking to genuinely engage with the question he asks. No blame before the question is answered :)
I guess your title really gets to the heart of my take on this. If there aren't material consequences for most of the people who voted third party I really don't understand the anger a lot of people feel towards them. In swing states sure, but for the rest of the people? It just doesn't make sense to me unless there's some fundamental misunderstanding about how our elections work.
