And honestly I think the anti-voting sentiment on the left is a symptom of unexamined lib ideals. We're all taught that voting is the most important political action, that it's powerful enough to change the world, that voting itself is a revolutionary act, and that this whole year long lead up of political theater approaching the presidential vote is somehow important. Then we realize that it's a rigged system that'll always provide a choice between slightly different coalitions of bourgeoisie interests.

Agreed on this for sure. Personally I'm of the general belief that capital V "VOTING™©®" is good but wholly insufficient. Like washing your hands is good to prevent the flu but getting a flu shot is better, and politically I think they try to drill into us that voting is the vaccine.
