The comment is meant to illustrate that I don't think their statement is different enough to contradict.

The lack of effort to vote is obvious. As is what happens when you vote out all of the incumbents.

It's not a solution, that is obvious. Mostly because it's not suggesting anything concrete, either.

My suggestion is quite a bit more concrete. It's grounded in reality. The level of organization required to vote out ALL incumbents, is better used actually solving the problem.

I wouldn't presume to present such a solution, as I am only me. I would happily suggest voting in specific people over voting out the incumbents, at the very least.

oh i think the disconnect is that the statement "vote out all incumbents" is much more of an expression of sentiment for individual consideration as a baseline and not an attempt to organize and control the vote to get exactly that output by treating voters like programmable robots, which is not democratic anyway
