ID: 3 panel comic:

  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks "wait a second-- why'd I end up in hell??"

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: "because centrism enables fascism"

So I’d love to hear your take on non voting as a means of protest. Or voting third party when you know there’s no chance of their success.

Both of these things can be considered as men doing nothing.

People who don't vote at the lowest level elections and don't engage in opportunities to improve or lead their communities are typically the same people who abstain from voting in the bigger races. Then they will say, "Both parties are awful, so why bothet?"

It's apathy down the board. Every excuse to not vote is hiding their own failure to make change happen. Are those "good men"?

while this is true to some extent, larger action is required than merely voting.

Nope. They are not.
