… One could say the same of participation in the electoral process. Taking your ball and going home doesn’t work any better as a voter than as an official.
i don’t really agree that “one could say the same” because these are totally different situations. A voter is not a civil servant. A voter does not get paid to vote. Most voters did not swear an oath to defend the constitution (unless they are a naturalized citizen). A single voter also has no power to block an insurgent force from taking over key government systems, unlike a civil servant.
Also a voters pay and retirement benefits are not likely to be impacted by how they vote. Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.
Is this being dismissive? You presented your point of view and they presented theirs. A nice exchange. You don’t have to agree and you don’t have to answer, but this end felt like an eye roll.

Ooookay.

It is a massive eye roll.
A single voter has(had) the power to join other single voters.
Most civil servants have little power against an AR.
