It follows that voting on its own is necessary but insufficient to make any real progress. Voting for the least worst outcome is a defensive action, which still results in losses (and I mean this literally, because the political consensus kills people). To make any forward progress, we need something else as well.
Direct action, alternative media, building coalitions, mass marches, are at least as important.
