    I’m sorry but discouraging electoral participation is extremely dumb. Until the revolution comes, that’s how change happens.

        Yeah, so if someone is telling me not to vote and they aren’t currently revolting, I’m discounting them as counterproductive at best.

          I am not telling you not to vote.

          I am telling you not to wait for the revolution to come to you, but instead to be the revolution.

      Just one more election, bro. This time we’ll get on track. Just one more election, bro. This one is the most important one in our lives. Just one more election, bro. /s

      Disclaimer: Vote, if you want to (it’s not too much of a hassle for me, so I indulge in some elections, too). But please don’t volunteer for electoral campaigns if there are better options available to get polieically engaged (there always are).

          I’m not really understanding the metaphor. In what way did I tell you “not to use the weapon”? I literally said “vote, if you want to”.

          In your metaphor, I’d be saying “don’t put energy into learning how to use a butterknife, if better options are available”.
