I'll vote if you do more than just vote.
You have no right to hold this over people's heads, and even implying a tit for tat arrangement is suggesting that anyone who doesn't "do more than just vote" isn't doing their part. Some of us have demanding jobs, kids, family that requires care, or other demands that do not allow time for political activity beyond voting which has already been made extremely difficult in some areas.
In short: get fucked. Go vote. Don't try to create some kind of one-upsmanship game that predicates your civic responsibility on someone else's volunteered time.

Some of us have demanding jobs, kids, family that requires care, or other demands that do not allow time for voting instead of attending the occasional local better-timed rally which has already been made extremely difficult in some areas.
In short: get fucked. Go do activism. Don’t try to create some kind of one-upsmanship game that predicates your civic responsibility on someone else’s volunteered time.
