They don’t. No vote is taken for granted. We know this because every campaign has to do GOTV every election. If you ever worked a campaign you know that voters leaning your direction are very frustrating because they will agree with everything you say and then just not show up to vote.
People protest to make themselves feel better. If you lean left you can just call up Democrats in Congress and tell them how you feel. They will listen.
I don’t get this “call your reps” take I see everywhere from people arguing that it’s the best and only way to be heard when literally I have been doing it for half a decade and no. No it doesn’t. Not when elections are guaranteed whether they listen or not.
right, cause the stonewall riots didn’t catalyze the dying lgbtq+ movement that was originally only made up of white gay cis men “calling democrats” and trying to be respectable. sure thing bud
