The person I replied to literally did say just voting would’ve stopped Trump. They didn’t say voting and holding your president accountable or voting and making sure the right steps are taken to prevent Trump again. How am I not supposed interpret it as “voting is all that matters”?
And I didn’t say not to vote. Voting matters but voting is not the be all end all that most Americans believe it to be. See 2020 to 2024 when it was time to permanently stop Trump but people didn’t give a shit because they had already voted Trump out. I’d say the OP post has the same “voting solves all our problems” vibe, which is why I commented in the first place. Just voting won’t save America.
Barely half of eligible voters vote in the midterms. Like twenty percent vote in primaries. People largely don’t vote and that’s part of the problem. People largely don’t vote because they’re idiots that think the parties are the same and listen to idiots that say the parties are the same in spite of literally all the evidence. And yeah, if people actually fucking voted it would have stopped Trump like it did in 2020. If voting didn’t work republicans wouldn’t be trying to take it from you. Voting in every election is the bare minimum every citizen should be doing. But let’s be honest, none of your community outreach is gonna matter much once they’re going door to door.
Nobody saying to vote is saying all you need to do is vote. We are saying voting matters and if you don’t vote you’re as good as a fuckin MAGAt.

They already are going door to door! We’re already there and organizing matters more than ever.
