I think that an insidious mistruth that is spread during Presidential elections in particular is that most of the people who do vote are planning to be engaged in other politics beyond voting on a regular basis. Pick the enemy you want to fight is belied by the fact that most won't fight that enemy.

that's why they choose the person they choose: they don't want to have to fight and figure if it's "not as bad" then they can walk away. it's infuriating how, as a radical, it's so tough to mobilize folks during democrat presidencies.

What happens usually is that folks quickly move on to scolding the fighters for the next 4 years. "It's just the first year of the term" "you need to get them a Congress to work with" "protest in the most toothless way possible"
