As you may have picked up from reading my comment, the question you quoted was not a question I was asking you, it was part of a list of questions that cannot be answered by the constitution. There is not a short and sweet answer to questions like that.

A blanket statement that boycotting an election doesn't accomplish change in some way is such a wild take. Have you ever read anything that wasn't part of the state's mandatory victorious history of the empire for children? I'm sure you have, you seem like a bright person...so what the hell are you talking about?

Just answer this: why did anti-apartheid groups in south africa boycott elections, rejecting the government's "reform" strategy? You're saying it's because they're fools, and I think that's because you're not applying any critical thinking whatsoever. Maybe you don't mean what you said, and mean something more specific.
