I have seen evidence that there are commentators who are suggesting to the falsely divided subgroups of America that they might just sit out the upcoming November 5, 2024, election. As Bonhoeffer suggests above, not to speak is the same as speaking up for the status quo, and not to act is the same as acting in support of the status quo. Carrying this one step further, not to vote is the same as a vote in favor of the status quo.
