ppl on this website are so obsessed with ‘all or nothing’ when it comes to politics and seemingly cannot grasp that electing officials is more like a strategic chess move to make change easier 

Tangentially, people here treat activism like a competition and completely disregard that not everyone is willing or able to throw bricks at cops. Activism is exhausting mentally and physically and telling people that their activism “doesn’t count” because it’s not dangerous enough is just a spit in the face to what work people are doing.
