"Just pressure the politicians, man! It will totally be effective and not just amount to nothing getting done! Because we can VOTE them out if they do not listen."
Perhaps he did not say that here, but I am willing to bet that is the logical conclusion to his ending statement. As if elections matter when they are openly stolen. I am willing to bet he also claims that the elections are completely fair and above board too.
