    When people are disillusioned with the system, they will disconnect from it.

    No amount of shaming them or whining about what you think those people owe you will change that.

    Clutch your pearls and try voting for a leftist next time.

      Any shame is your own making. Reality doesn’t care about your disillusionment or ill-conceived ways to self-sabotage. Failure to reflect on consequences of your actions is your own doing.

      No amount of shaming them

      Is the comment attempting to shame or is something in you compelling you to feel it? Pointing out reality shouldn’t cause shame unless you feel it should.

      Shame induced by facing reality (that ignorant actions backfire) is self-inflicted. It’s a consequence of having enough pride to expect better of themselves. No one should like to feel stupid & the messenger did not create the reality they stupidly failed to appreciate. The power is entirely theirs to end their shame by correcting their folly to deal with reality.

      or whining

      Ridicule isn’t whining. Failing to comprehend the consequences of their actions is their folly.

      about what you think

      Not thoughts: reality. Electoral rules have consequences.

      those people owe you

      You mean owe themselves? Only those who think they owe themselves would feel shame.

      Fools sabotaging themselves with their own stupidity is its own joy. Following the teachings of Jesus to love & support their enemies might earn them accidental sainthood!

      Clutch your pearls

      Who’s shocked or appalled by pointing out failure to recognize spoiler effect? Seems like someone’s butthurt over the reality of the spoiler effect & reality doesn’t care.

      try voting for a leftist next time

      Try not supporting your enemies unless you’re aiming for sainthood.
