pol, hot take 

a lot of the internet is now arguing over whether people should change things with votes or with violence -- but that's as silly as arguing over whether we should take care of ourselves with food or with water

the two are not mutually exclusive! BOTH are necessary if we want to enact any form of change, because democracies* are built on a solid foundation of both of them!

disclaimer, re: pol, hot take 

of course, this is easier said than done, and i'm just some armchair philosopher in an echo chamber of isolated bubbles; so take my advice with a tablespoon of salt
