The argument is not voting or not voting, the hypocrisy is that he wanted/protested for social change, and not do the most basic right that will bring about those changes.

To make it easier for you, it is like supporting PETA, protesting for PETA, and still wearing leather shoes with genuine ivory buckles...

I usually don't defend Kaep but he lives in pinkoland. None of the elections there are remotely competitive. So if he's not inspired by anyone it's a lot easier to stay home, as opposed to living somewhere with a competitive election where you would at least be blocking the lesser of two evils.

For down ballot races, Kamala Harris is a tPOS who railroaded innocent defendants when she was the district attorney in Dan Francisco. Jackie Speier and Nancy Pelosi don't care about anyone except the uber rich. If I lived in the Bay Area I would probably show up just to vote Sanchez and a third party House member. But I can understand why he stayed home, and a "Screw all of them" position is a valid protest.
