People are much more likely to vote for something than against. That won't change by browbeating them. Only changing the system will have an effect.

You can't change the system if people don't vote, though. So go vote. You can't just sit at home and lament how broken the system is, not participating, and then expecting it to somehow change without any effort. Not saying this is you, but the idea you're defending.

And you can't change the fact that you won't convince people to vote for you by browbeating them.
