I don't think I've missed the point. I did not read the post as being somehow in contrast to what you do in usual political contexts (like voting). I don't really see what in the post suggests that.
I don't disagree that there are other things that you can do as well. Again, I wasn't criticising the post, just adding something. Another version of my comment could be "Yk another way you can contribute to your community? Voting."
I strongly disagree that the act of voting, in and of itself, counts as "contribut(ing) to your community". Maybe that's where our opinions differ.
That's fine, your opinion is as valid as mine. So please don't degrade mine by calling my comment "poisoning" or "adding nothing". I wish you had started with your last two comments which aren't as harsh.
I can believe that your opinion is valid, while still also believing that your comment here in this thread is not. Considering my instance has downvotes disabled, I decided to comment and reply as much. I am sorry for assuming you were American though. I'm skittish as I've seen way too many communities, unrelated to US politics, devolve into toxic debates about voting vs not voting in this year's upcoming election over there.
That's a pretty messed up thing to say to someone you disagree with. Let alone stigmatising mental health issues.
