Irrelevant context. As a great sage once said
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice
This is a binary system one OR the other will win. There is no other outcome. You either push to influence it in a better or worse direction you dont get to sit it out. The result WILL effect you.




That really is the crux of it though isnt it. Soon as i saw that last line about “they need to follow the law”. Its not law its something some people agreed on but was never codified. This has been a major weakness of our government since inception. Its just that in the past people respected traditions and precidemt and things like that. But it was never a ‘requirement’. We rely on precident FAR to much. Our lawmakers have abdicated their responsibility to the courts and the executive branch. And now were going to reap what they sowed. This is exactly what authoritarians are always talking about. We have to find a way to force lawmakers to do their jobs and make it punishable to be so obstinate as to to disagree with everything out of spite.
