And there are otherwise intelligent people who don&#8217;t think the vote is the strongest way to bring about change (I&#8217;m looking at you, Noam.) What I think they are forgetting is how quickly and effectively change achieved through movements and activism can be UNdone if it isn&#8217;t supported at the ballot box. Can I attempt an analogy? Sitting around and breathing may not be the most powerful way to live a full life. Lifelong learning, exercise, love of family and friends are all more powerful in making one feel one has a life. But if you don&#8217;t also breathe, all those other things kind of lose their power.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sam&#8217;s Shed &#8211; Mister Wives<br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6bBgm3JEWb8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>Cool.
