we had exactly this issue with a direct democratic CO2 tax plan vote in Switzerland. most of the No's came from young voters that apparently thought it's not going far enough. IMO people who think like this are just as much a part of the problem like those who ignore the issue. When you get to vote for an improvement, even if it's not ideal, you should take it.

We had a similar issue in the UK with our actual voting system switching to AV. Either it would kill babies or it wasn't going far enough and our chance of iterating improvements to our system were squashed, just like that.
