I disagree with you when you say that activism only exists within the bounds of the electoral system. This system is rigged and doesn't provide the tools for the societal changes wished by many. There are other ways to fight the system than voting and convincing people to vote. Civil disobedience is one of them. However, getting caught and prosecuted is part of civil disobedience and your activism shouldn't stop when you get caught. A public trial is a platform that can be used to make your ideas known to a larger public. As far as Ulbritch goes, it seems to me his "activism" was only an excuse.
