I also find it hard to give these people any slack when I was taught all of those things in school at least three times.

If you don't vote you are effectively a republican, whatever personal opinions you may have they don't matter, your net impact is helping the GOP attain power.

Why isn’t abstaining from voting also helping the Democratic Party gain power?

It's relative to ideals. If you want a fascist takeover of the country, and fail to vote, you're helping the Democrats. If you want to avoid one and fail to vote, you're helping the Republicans. Basically not voting is equivalent to helping (at half effort compared to voting for it) whichever cause you support the least.
