    “I want the Democrats to pay attention to me and change their policy”

    terrorizing the civil rights of others and threats against society isn’t going to give you the attention you want from who you want to pay attention.

    “i’m asking why that is not the normal function of democracy.”

    because selfishness and terror threats lose trust. if you’re willing to sacrifice the rights of everybody else to get what you want, your vote can’t be trusted.

    “They now can be assured of our votes no matter what policies they propose or implement.”

    nobody can be assured of you vote because selfishness and terror threats are inherently untrustworthy. If you’re willing to sacrifice the rights of everybody else to get what you want, your vote can’t be trusted.

    “False dichotomy”

    I used this word correctly, you copied it and used it for an incorrect example.

    Harris or Trump The 2024 US presidential election is not a false dichotomy.

    One of those two is going to win the presidential election.

    that is an actual dichotomy.

    “Really, if you can’t grasp the basic distinction between theories and the facts on which they’re based then I don’t know how we can proceed.”

    you sure don’t.

    I understand the difference vetween theory and practice, you are conflating them as you have mistaken each tree for a forest.

    You’re stuck in a fish bowl.
