I clearly did not say that, re-read and try again.

There's a lot of thoughtful responses to your histrionics, I suggest you take a breath and actually engage with the ideas contained within them.

> There's a lot of thoughtful responses to your histrionics

Sorry, can you please point to one of these thoughtful responses? I've seen one idea suggested: "sortition". But no ideas for how to get it peacefully without voting it in. I engaged with all these comments and asked this question.

"Voting doesn't work" is a cynical, doomerist, thought terminating cliche. I don't want this mind virus to propagate. You may call my comments "histrionics". But instead I suggest you take a breath and think about where calling voting and elections "useless" leads.
