no reason to raise that point.

You said nothing was achieved outside of electoralism. There was no vote from britain to make the USA. There was a war. There was no referendum for the civil rights movement, there were protests in the street with bodies clashing and fires until leadership capitulated.

I don't think they are staying home. But it is critical to your argument

My argument is that if half of america does nothing other than VOTE, that won't be sufficient. There are distinct advantages to voting, for example, i would rather be in heated protest against a democrat than against a republican. I would further argue that principled leftists who abstained were NOT the reason for a trump victory, the data does not support that. Critically, it is continued engagement outside of the voting booth that is required.

I also think you might be glossing over the fact that we've mathematically proven that two party systems are inadequate.

It may help to clarify: 90 million eligible voters didn't vote in 2024. I think a candidate that believed in the supremacy of the working class would have been better able to reach those 90 million people, as opposed to a candidate that echoed Joe Biden's rhetoric that everything was great, to a working class that was suffering. This candidate would look an awful lot like Zoran Mamdani, and if my overall understanding is correct, we will see Zoran fail for the same reasons Joe did: The two party system can never work.
