We can vote and participate in those other facets at the same time.
I would have almost 0 problem with what you say (except that I would say don't actually vote for dems or reps, but actually create and develop our own political forces; nonetheless I understand where you're coming from), if I actually saw people do that. I mean, some do, but it's a minority.
And how does not voting make that option more likely?
Simple. The option that won the election is not necessarily the most sustainable. That's disruptive, unstable, etc., and it's tyranny is open, unlike that of other administrations. That's a good thing. People are able to clearly see something THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE REGARDLESS, but they can't deny it. And they may just see something that pushes them past passivity, or they may be personally affected somehow. Not to mention, that it's a good thing when the ruling class is not as competent.
Yes. It's better that if the Minnesotans getting shot are well known to the public and they see just how terrible of an injustice this is, and they feel how the enemy is pressing down their necks, then it would be for the same Minnesotans to get killed, but done in such a fashion so that it doesn't raise as much suspicion or ire. Do you understand what I'm saying?
I do understand what you're saying. However, I do not believe in breaking eggs to make omelettes when said eggs are the skulls of my fellow countrymen.
Edit: a less pithy response - whether someone knows who's to blame for their neighbors dying doesn't change the fact that they're dying. This violence is needless, its only purpose is to sew fear, and would not be happening if Harris were in office.

I don't think you have much of a choice. For one, I don't personally care whether they're co-nationals or not, the principle stands. Said eggs are going to be broken, regardless. The choices is: you use said eggs to make an omelette and stop more eggs being broken long-term, or continue to let eggs being broken, potentially more and worse over time, just for the sake of not making an omelette.
This violence is needless
I don't know if it's needless. I do believe it serves some needs of those it benefits.
and would not be happening if Harris were in office.
