We’ve gone back and forth with each other in the past about voting, but I understand why it’s so prominent for you now. I’m of the belief that it’s the easiest and least effective method of change, so it’s been frustrating to seemingly see no real plan to put on the pressure folks are telling us to wait for.
It is the easiest and least effective, on its own. But its the least effective in large part because it is an action taken only one or two days out of the year. Each of those days are a significant junction from which massive changes are possibly. Often bad ones, which is why it’s all the more important to use those one or two days.
Direct action is food and water, but voting is medicine. Medicine won’t save you without direct action, but refusing medicine when ill will ensure that direct action does that much less in keeping you alive. Or ensure that the problem kills you outright before you can get your body the necessary nutrition to sustain itself.
