I think the point is that in this election, as important as it is, all you can do is cast one single vote.

What?

You can send letters to people encouraging them to vote, you can text bank, you can knock on doors, you can have a protest against both sides's awful Gaza policy, you can organize with one side or the other, you can join up with some kind of group which is getting ready if some shit goes down over the course of the next week or the next two months.

What do you even mean? I'm not being rude, I really don't understand your point. There are a ton of things besides voting that are really good to do, and people have been doing them. I think we'll have to do them in order for things to ever be good in this country. In what sense is all you can do to vote?

When you misunderstood the original post I should have known you would misunderstand anything I was going to say.

Okay, so explain it to me. What have I gotten wrong and what do I need to understand?
