1. You can't even admit that protesting with your vote is an effective strategy when we see with our own eyes it being done and politicians switching up as a result, so you're really not in the position to be offering this kind of remark and for me to take it seriously. You're talking around the fact that end the of day, these people chose to withhold their vote because they realized that if they don't do this, they won't be taken seriously by any politician. Why would anyone do anything but talk nice to you if they know your vote is in the bag? It makes zero sense on any purely pragmatic level.
2. I don't even know what the conversation is anymore. You're reaching to continue to justify your ineffective idea of how politics works. And that's cool, I'm not going to change your world view. The 50 years of data that shows your way ain't working isn't enough, a coli discussion definitely won't be enough either.
Yeah bruh, you got it, they shouldn't have withheld their vote and surely would have gotten what they asked for if they just voted blue and allowed these politicians to know their vote was in the bag. They were wrong to do that and how Kamala is moving right now shows that they were wrong to do this. They should have realized that it's everyone and everything in the world but them that's gonna get their agenda pushed and fell in line.
