Alright, this is odd. Normally I’m telling the people saying not to vote that they should vote in addition to taking other actions. I didn’t ever expect to have to counter someone saying not to protest and to only vote. Why would you make this comment? Why not protest and vote? Why are you making it seem like you can only do one?

Protest can be more impactful, especially in the short term, than voting. They’re both useful. The problem with protesting is it takes more effort and time than voting, which is simple and easy. Everyone should vote because it’s trivial, but it shouldn’t be in exclusion to protest or other actions.
