Not sure why you want to call me names. My guess is we probably agree on more than we don’t.
I was just (admittedly, sarcastically) pointing out that perhaps copying methods that have WORKED might be better than copying methods that… Maybe slightly annoyed a couple of CCP officials? I’m sure everyone in China still thinks the election was legitimate, and pretty much everyone outside of China didn’t need any sort of protest vote to tell them it wasn’t.
In the US we have been non-voting for decades. That’s exactly how we got into this mess. Non-voting isn’t going to make anything better.
I agree with that generally, but what “methods that work” do you suggest?
Edit: To add, the protest spoilt ballots and low turnout in Hong Kong did exactly what they were supposed to do. It convinced other Hongkongers that the elected Legislative Council is not legitimate and was installed, not elected. This is particularly troublesome for the Government, because Hongkongers have a famous tendency to protest, and sometimes rather intensely.
