Quote by Keith Ellison

Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.

Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.

Summary

This quote suggests that abstaining from voting is not an effective way to voice one's displeasure or dissatisfaction with the system or candidates. By choosing not to vote, individuals are seen as giving up on their power to influence change and improve the situation. Rather than considering it a meaningful protest, the quote implies that not voting is akin to surrendering - relinquishing one's ability to have a say in the decisions that shape society. It serves as a reminder to actively participate in the democratic process and have a voice in shaping the future.
