I would be the one bailing and complaining at the same time.

Actually voting is more like cheering on the bailers from the sidelines. Direct action would be actually picking up a bucket.

Direct action would be actually ~~picking up a bucket~~ feeding the hole-driller to the sharks.

FTFY.

Indeed. Also, there are many kinds of direct action, and many creative ways to use buckets!

Fair enough.

Hell, we could even be democratic about it (for real, for once) - that is, if we could trust the (so-called) "democrats" to recognize that we may have to do something about the hole-driller instead of them "reaching across the aisle" to him.
