    Yes! Why not vote for the lesser evil to prevent harsher crackdowns than you would otherwise get?

        At the end, yes, both outcomes are the same unless organization is successful. Why make organizing any harder than it needs to be?

            I am confused by your reply. What is the “rock” I am buying?

              Did you watch the video? The rock that keeps tigers away is like voting that makes organizing easier.

              Politicians react to organized mass movements, rather than elections. You got it backwards.

                I did watch the video. I agree that mass movements are what is required for change. I don’t understand, what am I buying?

                  You’re “buying” that elections make organizing easier. Just like Homer is buying that a rock can keep tigers away.

                    How would having a more evil leader, one who hypothetically locks down freedom of speech and starts arresting people, make organizing easier?

                    Seems like that would make it harder to do.
