There's the flaw that invalidates the argument. Refusing to participate is not a political strategy. That small flaw is indicative of the larger flaw that permeates the TAdams8591 account's contributions:
The exercise of political ideology necessitates partisan participation.
It doesn't. An ideologue and a partisan are widely separated entities. They are for good reason.
Partisan pursuits require compromise. The ideologue must exist to establish the boundaries of compromise. No ideologue, no boundaries. No partisan, no compromise. They are very dissimilar yet form the basis of the principal symbiosis in things political.
Arguments between partisans and ideologues can never be resolved. Commentators of these events are engaged in foolish pursuits.
Just to be clear, I am not the author of the above quote. But I agree with the quote, while you do not. Both ideologues and non-ideologues participate in party politics. Complete and total lack of participation gets one nothing. There is no point to having a political ideology if one does not participate in party politics.
"Refusing to participate is not a political strategy."
I and many people on the PA boards would beg to differ with you. People sat out this election to punish Republicans and/or send them a message. They temporarily not permanently exited the political process. They helped the loss of Republicans because they believe it will make the party stronger and more conservative.
