I have read, re-read, and reflected on your comment, but I still do not agree. Whether for specific ballot initiatives instead of elections, or for electing people to effect policy change, it can be in your best interest to abstain from voting if you are not knowledgeable about the issues.
You keep saying your comment isn’t about elections, but that actually doesn’t seem relevant to anything you’ve said, particularly not the original comment claiming that abstaining is never reasonable for people wishing to have their point of view reflected in the outcome of whatever vote.
