In the name of being realistic, the statement amounts to unrealistic posturing. A vote is a weapon. It's not always the most powerful weapon, the weapon it once was, or the weapon we want it to be, and people may say untrue things about the election, but a vote is an asset that can be used in a variety of ways. As police training tells you, in a fight, you never throw away a weapon or a shield.
