This makes it sound like the people participating in protests and boycotts do not vote, which is untrue. In fact, I would wager that activists are one of the demographics with the highest voter turnout. Additionally, protests can actually help increase voter turnout by raising awareness of key issues.

Exactly. Protests and boycotts are much harder than voting. Yes, we got there because many people took democracy for granted and didn't vote.

There are protests and boycotts, because that's what's left.
