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

No, they are not. But swinging the popular vote reduces their appearance of the public mandate. And Trump also only won by relatively small margins in a lot of the swing states for the electoral college (30k in Wisconsin, 50k in Nevada, 70k in Michigan, etc), where such additional votes matter even more.

Every single vote on the board counts, whether or not you think it does. Not voting is intentionally silencing your voice for no reason.
