Does this mean that anyone, ANYONE, that votes other than “Gimmel” is violating unified daas Torah?

Does this mean that the Sefaradi Bnei Torah should also vote for Gimmel?

So all people who have the priviledge to vote in the upcoming Israeli election, AND who follow Harav Chaim Kanievski’s shitta, are mechuyav to vote Gimmel.

That excludes: (1) Those who cannot vote; and (2) those who follow other Gedolim.

If people cannot vote for whatever reason they cannot vote. That being the case, why on earth did you have to show טיפשות כל כך בפרהסיה ?
