Ya, I can not fathom why so much of Lemmy seems to have this inane either/or mindset when it comes to voting and taking other action of any kind as if they were mutually exclusive. The only way I can rationalize it is as a half-assed way of excusing present inaction (because they’ll totally take direct action… as soon as someone else starts it) or some kind of stupid moral purity thing. Those are very uncharitable interpretations though so I try not to assume them to be true. I just don’t have any other good explanations for it.
