You really cannot see past your upturned nose can you?
You keep implying that the users here are some sort of political action group within the two-party charade of American electoral politics. That the extent of their possibly action is what they post on this niche little corner of the internet.
You may live your life as though every tweet you make is part of some targeted electoral campaign to move the needle in a political horse race, feeling as though that counts as action. But most people here don't.
Most have little time for dead end electoralism. Many could not vote even if they did as they're not from or in the US. People post here for fun, or to share information and ideas, or just to post pictures of cool animals even. Being on a website isn't their entire life, it's not their only concept of action or praxis or organising or whatever you tell yourself you're doing with this nonsense. Their action is done in the real world for the most part, or, if they do organise online, it's in other communities on other terms.
You've done the equivalent of walking into the pub discussion of strangers, with no context or understanding of them or what they're discussing, and loudly telling them all they'll never get win over the electorate with that messaging. They're not trying to, you have no idea what you're even trying to talk about, and you weren't invited to participate in the first place. And yet you seem shocked and confused when they tell you that.
