      Do I have “direct control” over the US government because I can withhold my vote come election day?

        Not much, admittedly, but not eating seafood does a heck of a lot more than not using straws.

          which isn’t a justification for trying to invalidate a small victory

          a “small victory” doesn’t imply a direct, tangible impact

          “direct control over” does
