Look up what “ideal” means, and note that it doesn’t mean “only option.”

You specifically chose the word. I am responding to that. And to that end: Not participating in an election is NOT an ideal way to have a democracy. In fact- it flies is the face of it.

So in political philosophy ideals are only related to the common definition. This wiki page gives a good use of the philosophical definition in action.

I probably should have used a different word on Lemmy though.
