Oh, hey, I wonder why he thinks he doesn’t have to listen to his constituents and they’ll vote for him anyway no matter what?

I just realized the fundamental disconnect for people who think they can "boycott" voting:

People who threaten to withhold their vote are thinking of the government like a business. If you don't like what a business is doing, you can refuse to shop there, and that hurts them.

But your government is not a business, no matter how much the GOP tries to pretend it is, and refusing to participate doesn't hurt it. If you refuse to vote, you still have to live under that government. I know we're all fundamentally broken by late-stage capitalism, but you get that you can't "Well, you just lost a customer" this one, right? YOU AREN'T A CUSTOMER.

Refusing to vote isn't like refusing to buy McDonald's. It's like walking into a McDonald's, handing the cashier $20 (because you still gotta pay taxes whether you vote or not), and saying "Surprise me."

(Oh and during this particular trip, one of the two McDonald's options is maybe not your favorite food, and the other is deadly poison.)

Kayley would divorce Devon for Rorshak.

Totally. Have you seen Rorshak? Have you seen Rorshak in armor? Kayley totally crushes on that. But she knows that she’s probably not smart enough, and probably a little bit not-a-necromancer, and she’s also got her son to think of, who needs his father. Plus she’s very happy with Devon and she loves him. But she can daydream.
