    During the Iraq War, Kurt Vonnegut was asked about the anti-war protests… His response was that, during Vietnam, he was part of anti-war protests firing on all cylinders and laser-horned and going to stop that war. He said the result was it was ultimately about as effective as climbing to the top of a ladder and tossing a pie on the ground. This time will be no different.

    So I don’t know what you’re hoping to gain. The ‘Ima take my ball and go home approach’ didn’t work out so well in 2016. Threatening not to vote isn’t going to phase anyone in a country where more than half the population doesn’t vote anyway. Maybe instead of threats you should work with other people trying to help the people you want elected get elected.
