Disagree entirely. Almost every single purchase decision we make is more impactful than the single vote we cast every ~4 years. The market actually responds directly to our day-to-day decisions.
As individuals, we have far more power to effect change with our wallets than with our ballots. In either case, nothing done by an individual matters, but IMO a critical mass changing consumption habits will do far more than a critical mass changing voting habits.
