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

Presidents aren’t elected by popular vote
No, but it at least prevents the appearance of a "mandate." Trump claims that he not only won the popular vote but also the electoral college so that means we're all totally cool with whatever he wants to do whatsoever.
They have less of an argument if more people voted against him, but our stupid system still gave him power.
This is such a liberal take. They would have acted exactly the same whether they had the 'spirit of the nation' behind them or not. Stop picking fights of symbolic victories.
Republicans have not cared about the decorum that the democrats have been trying to uphold since at the very least the second Obama term likely longer.
Democrats are refusing to employ the same tactics that the republicans use against them when they are in power.
