    You can both vote and protest.

    Those aren’t mutually exclusive options.

    If they protested, yet sat on their hands when asked to vote. We wouldn’t be seeing this headline.

        You mean going out and voting rather than pointless posturing online works?

        ???

        You’re going to need to point this out to me.

          You clearly implied that the Serbians just went out and voted, not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in. You chose to focus on literally the least consequential part of that series of events, thereby diminishing everything else in order to fit your agenda. It’s like saying “see, the New Deal came because people voted for FDR” and neglecting to even allude to the literal decades American workers spent bleeding and dying before something like that happened.

            Which they did. That’s kinda how elections work.

            not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in.

            No i didn’t. I mentioned online posturing, not real world action. the exact thing you’re doing now.

            You chose to focus on literally the least consequential part of that series of events

            How do you suppose they vote someone out without voting?

            And once again. I was calling out people who’ll sit of their arse and talk about what they Would do, not what they’re actually doing.

            thereby diminishing everything else in order to fit your agenda

            My agenda of saying that pointless posturing online without the basic action of voting is pointless?
