I've been an Infernite for over 15 years and you are not doing this band justice unless you really took to heart the song "we will never run into one another on trains" because you don't support building the infrastructure.

So one must agree with every single thing a band says in their lyrics to be a fan? Are you for real?
I made the mistake once of reading Jack's blog and he basically said he doesn't vote. I find that to be an abhorrent view. It's anti-democratic. But he's an "anarchist" (whatever that means) so I decided to just simply find beauty in their music.One needs not be an ideologue to do so.

His choice not to vote is anti democratic? But haven’t we democratically decided that voting isn’t mandatory?

To openly eschew voting in favor of some cockamamie ideology that is both impractical and contrary to human nature... yes, that's anti-democratic. To be pro-democracy is to encourage voting. I don't see what's hard about this.

No. Being anti democratic would be if he prevented you from voting. His refusal to vote is a first amendment right.
To be pro democracy is to encourage the right to vote. Not to force others to vote or judge them for not voting

Who said anything about forcing. He made a choice. I'm criticizing the choice.
Are you really that dense?
