I think it's an easy edge to tip over, but I'd stress that there is a difference between 'voting but having an unpopular stance' and 'denied basic rights'. There isn't a major political party that represents my views currently, for example, but it would be premature for me to start shooting because this is not (yet and hopefully ever) the same as my voice being explicitly ignored. |

This is not what I imagine when I see someone saying "voting is not effective"
Unpopular stances losing in votes is voting working as intended
Unpopular stances winning is when voting is very broken
