They are literally advocating for civil war as a means of change, but refuse to engage in any behavior that would contribute to that goal.
Well again that's only if you're only thinking about your own perspective. If that person had your perspective, we wouldn't be here. Do you consider it bizarre for someone to believe that were already on the path to civil war, much the same way you believe you believe engaging with the electoral system will yield progress? It's not as if there are no signs of widening divisions in the country, authoritarian leaders trying to seize power, violent political rhetoric, militarized police forces, and dysfunctional governance.
Their comments are deleted now, so I can't even reference them but lets look at the democrats own messaging. When the dems say things like "vote like your democracy depends on it" it's not unreasonable for them to infer that staying home would then mean hastening of a civil war. So either them protesting the vote does indeed contribute to the goal of civil war, or this elections not as important as the messaging they're probably getting blasted with is making it seem.
I am literally advocating for civic participation in the system as a means of change, and I engage in civic participation in the system.
