I sure hope that dude is a troll or a bot I really try to give most people benefit of the doubt but those might take the cake was the most insane takes I've ever heard.
You're right upon submitting it to scrutiny of the source that had originally broke down that quote I believe I was incorrect about the part of the violent protests.
I'm very aware that it was about the Democrats lack of support for his movement and their inaction during that time. The failures of the democratic party are very clear.
I've never taken issue with what you're saying. You can repeat it as much as you want, not even telling you to delay action I wish you would take action right now. What you are encouraging though is absolutely inaction in every sense of the word.
To put your logic to the test please explain to me how the 20-year low of voter turnout for the Democrats in 2016 was able to meaningfully affect policy.
It really bothers me how they're so willing to lay every Injustice at one side without considering the other or the other areas of the political apparatus they can effect.
But I guess I shouldn't be so surprised that's business as usual
I'm sorry but evidence does not support your claims, there are plenty of white papers to support the theory that votes and indeed the demographics that vote the most have the most sway in political policy especially in the US.
I'm saying you have a choice to make between two candidates, it shouldn't be that narrow and we should try to change that but for now under the system we've been given that is our options barring violent protest.
Or you can choose to act upon any other apparatus of the political system such as Congress or municipal government. Not voting is an ineffective means of asserting your political intent.
You've misinterpreted this quote. This is about violent protest and Democrats unwillingness to engage or support them during trying to forcefully take back the rights.
However that's decidedly not the solution you have proposed. You've proposed inaction.
Could you please be a little more polite I'm still a human being. I understand it's an emotional topic but I've remained cordial.
I think my prior responses outline pretty thoroughly why I think it will achieve a worse end result. I also understand that it may not be their intent however I don't think that really matters.
Do you sincerely not see a difference in the last 4 years as opposed to the four prior? We've had an increase action on health Care, student debt, decriminalization of marijuana, environmental action and a whole lot more.
I'm not saying it's perfect I'm just saying he's the best option we've got and if you want to sway him more in the direction you want then in the meantime pressuring Congress will allow you to do that.
Lack of votes don't pressure anyone only votes do.
I wish you all the luck in the world but I can tell you now that it is not me acknowledging the fact that our system has an inherent two party bias that assured the last 50 years of one of the two parties.
Voting is not a stamp of approval I've established that pretty strongly with evidence and theory.
It can never be a stamp approval as long as the current system for voting is in place.
You do have a moral fallacy you say that you're complicit if you vote for someone who is immoral. To extend this logic you're also complicit in every other evil that could have been prevented. I don't think we need a replay of 2016 to establish that a republican victory will do more harm both short and long-term.
I'm not saying you shouldn't pressure him I'm saying you can't. Your methods will not work, never will. Because the voting system we have in place does not allow lack of votes to pressure, only votes pressure. It's why millennials get so little of what they want because they don't vote like older generations do.
So why is pressuring Congress the one piece of action you actually have left so out of the question?
You can always vote however you want I'm not trying to change that I'm just trying to get you to understand that your actions may not have your desired end result and why.
We agree on what needs to happen just not the methods.
And they still feel the need to have a legal team that rivals Disney hunting down and harassing every fan project and emulation team.
