This has a strong undercurrent of "you're either with us or against us" where no one is allowed to simply be neutral. While I understand the theory that doing nothing means you support the status quo, forcing people to explicitly choose a side more often than not ends up pushing them to support the other side, which as a result grows stronger in power. Forcing someone who doesn't want to support you to support you generally breeds resentment and generates negative value for your cause. Those who can be pushed into support tend to be the first to abandon your cause when the opportunity arises. Welcoming those who are leaning towards your direction instead of trying to force those who are ambivalent has a much higher return on investment of your time and resources.
