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

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.
