Not sure if you are responding to a different comment because this is confusing and not really addressing the point I made. Are you suggesting that every single constituent who has an opinion should run for office?
No, I’m saying you’ve got the power to change things if you want but if you can’t be bothered to get involved then the least you can do is vote for the best option you’ve got and don’t try and discourage people from voting because all you’re doing is helping the worst option.
Don’t make your involvement in politics an involvement against democracy.
Trying to bait people into not voting for the best of both world because you disagree with one policy and you make the whole election about it while ignoring that the alternative is worse even on that policy is anti democratic.
Never once did I ‘bait’ or even suggest that people not vote. I’m calling out a candidate’s policy position which is what people do in healthy democracies, but, uh whatever.

Oh. Advocating for a policy and calling out a candidate for their position is anti democratic. Got it.
