    i don’t really agree that “one could say the same” because these are totally different situations. A voter is not a civil servant. A voter does not get paid to vote. Most voters did not swear an oath to defend the constitution (unless they are a naturalized citizen). A single voter also has no power to block an insurgent force from taking over key government systems, unlike a civil servant.

      Also a voters pay and retirement benefits are not likely to be impacted by how they vote. Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.

      A single voter has(had) the power to join other single voters.
      Most civil servants have little power against an AR.

        Is this being dismissive? You presented your point of view and they presented theirs. A nice exchange. You don’t have to agree and you don’t have to answer, but this end felt like an eye roll.
