There’s a good swedish song (made by a kinda generic youtuber, of all things) which states it very clearly: If you don’t vote you have no right to complain. You don’t have to vote strategically, just vote for literally ANYTHING if you want the right to complain.
I think you’re conflating the RT troll accounts with actual popular opinions… And cause and effect. Even the actual “protest non voters” were upset on behalf of the, you know, active genocide happening to other people.
That is the functional difference between a conservative and basically everyone else after all, the capacity for empathy and understanding that bad things are still bad when they don’t happen to you personally.
“My side fucked me, so I won’t vote for anyone for a couple of years. That’ll learn 'em.”

“Can’t blame me for the death of democracy, I don’t participate.”
These people have been so brain broken that they will never vote for anyone with a ‘D’ next to their name.
This person doesn’t even need to mention it, it’s just a given that he will go right to not voting (which I’ll take as a win).
I mean this was the unironic sentiment around here in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
