        Real change in America has never come from elections. It starts with direct action, and the direct action continues until it’s so much of a problem the government is forced to do something.

          Correct. Of course we should STILL vote, because voting can create favorable conditions for more effective direct action, but it’s no the solution in and of itself

          But elections do determine the ratio of beatings to helpful legislation that occurs when government is forced to do something.
