    How can my statement “detract from the […] accuracy of their statement”? That makes no sense.

    I will continue speaking out against the mythology of American exceptionalism regardless of whether or not you, or anyone else, approve of me doing so.

    The point is that electoral politics have not delivered any meaningful, long-lasting wins to the populations typically ground under the wheels of America. All wins for those groups have been secured by other forms of action, and the reliance on electoral politics to act as a savior has enabled many of those wins to be degraded in recent decades. Suggesting otherwise is promoting mythology, not facts.

    Thanks!
