    Voting is the only thing that changes the rules. Protests, donations, volunteering, etc. are all meant to influence voting. Voting is the only thing that works.

    No, money can’t buy everything. It can only influence. You are not going to bribe a Republican to raise taxes, or a (real, not fake) Democrat to vote for Trump.

      …voting is very much not the only thing. Sure, it’s important, but there’s far far more to politics than just voting.

      Protests are definitely not just to influence voting, unless you also mean “influencing politicians to propose and vote for law changes”
