Here is the entirety of the post you're referring to where I talked about elections and an invading country:
Yep, that's the one. I do have a bad memory, but I don't think it has betrayed me much if at all on this occasion. My point (that I said your statements in this thread felt incongruous with) was your statement you would choose to participate in the enforced society until a legal opportunity was given to you (by the invading force) to effect change. Which I took to mean you would not be willing to compromise your moral standpoint, step over 'the line', given harsh, enforced, circumstances. While the situation is not identical to the topic of this thread, it has major parallels - which is probably why I chose to say it "seemed a little incongruous" rather than something like "directly contradicts".
