    Not worrying about elections is how you lose the ability to actually implement any of those things we need because you don’t have any political power.

    To use a gratuitous MLK quote:

    Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love

    All the good intentions in the world are meaningless if you don’t actually have any power needed to implement those good intentions. There’s a balance to be struck somewhere.
