Lack of evidence is not evidence for your pet theory.

The party responds to those fighting in accordance to their PR. A dem will opt for more covert methods while the repubs will send the police to outright murder people in the streets and celebrate it. All the issues you listed are true, and that is why fighting is not optional.

Robust? I remember when the Supreme Court elected Bush as president.

Depends on who you ask. I would say trans rights are human rights, that it is not a culture war but a war for human dignity.

I see. I should have said "vote for where you want to fight; in a concentration camp or in the streets". I meant it reflects the quality of the fight, not that the fight goes away.

You can say they aren't really the "boss" but fact remains that voting shapes how the conflict plays out. Voting is choosing the quality of the boss fight.

But thank you for this. In the future I will say "boss fight" instead of "boss" to be more clear.

My response is rooted in a structuralist critique of the system that incentivizes participation. You have said nothing of the incentives other than to assert there is none. What do you hope to accomplish by disparaging me instead of the argument?

So long as you ignore the lived experiences of Americans they will never behave as you think they might. If it were as you said, detached from the needs of the masses, then the grip held by the electoral system would be a simple matter to defeat.

It's only a non-sequitor if you replace what I said about the interests of the masses with the interests of the capitalist class.

I get that it is difficult to both participate in the system while also dismantling it - that is by design. It is also designed to alienate those who participate from those who do not. That is one of the ways the system defends itself.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent

Both things can be true: that IQ is not a good index to use in this context and that other measurements have shown cognitive decline.
