Just like you don't like voting if it doesn't go your way.
So, now you presume to know what I like and don't like.
I like voting enough to go to the polls for every election I'm eligible to vote in. And, I vote for my preferred candidate whether I expect them to win, or not. And, I respect the result of a fair election.
What I
wouldn't do, is encourage/enable an insurrection. I
wouldn't call up a state official to pressure him into pulling more votes for me out of thin air. That would suggest that I don't think voting works, so I have to try other means to get around losing an election. Such disrespect for voting
should make me ineligible to run for office again.
You asked for MY definition, and I gave it to you. It happens to align with the actual definition.
Without context, saying "voting works" is meaningless. Voting didn't work for HRC in 2016, since she received more than Trump. In that case, the electoral college worked.
Voting worked to bring the Nazis into power in Germany. Ask a Berliner digging himself out of the rubble of his city in 1945 if he thought "voting works". He might not offer such a flippant response.
Voting continues to "work" to keep Putin in power in Russia. How does that work for everyone else who isn't an oligarch?
You seem to have a preconceived notion that 'works' equates to a result that you desire.
If nothing else, your inability to divine what I think is at least consistent.
If you had nothing more in mind when you say "voting works", than 'someone gets elected', well I'm pretty sure we all know that. Do you think that voting will work to prevent Trump's re-election? If so, I wouldn't be so sure. His voters may be fewer in number than Biden's, but they are
very dedicated voters.
TL;DR - to summarize, stating "voting works", without context, is no more profound or informative than saying 'dogs lick their nuts'.
