At the same time, attacking an organized effort to do that thing we're repeatedly told is our only option ("vote with your wallet") by pointing out that some people have no options isn't something done in good faith.

No one is expecting people with no ability to shop elsewhere to do so, nor to starve. It's a strawman argument.
