    It’s just too bad that people are only capable of one form of political engagement at a time. There’s no way that someone could try to organize in their community and fill out a ballot a few times a year.

    And really, why would you? Things will be exactly the same no matter who is in power as long as they aren’t 100% aligned with your views.

    Nah, best to mock anyone who chooses coalition building over ideological purity and stick to the plan of having a tiny fraction of the population lead a revolution… eventually.

      Nice straw man, nowhere did I say anything about doing only one form of political engagement at a time. In fact, that’s precisely what I was deriding in my comment.

        And I had said nothing about voting at all, let alone suggesting that people should vote and do nothing else. Maybe I confused you for the straw man because you were still covered in the stuff from fighting a straw man of your own.
