If you do all of those things, then the comic isn't about you, is it? So why so defensive? 🤔

Because the comic didn't mention those things, which are how you actually do some democracy in the face of hostile anti-democratic forces.

What point is the comic trying to make exactly? That voting isn't enough. What alternatives does it suggest? Nothing. It doesn't offer anything except a whining troll who seems to be encouraging a moralizing stance about the non-utility of voting with no alternatives. Almost like the point of this comic is to erode democratic ideas by making it seem like the only things people care about are voting and moralizing.
