I mean getting people not to vote quite literally only helps the fash, of course the left shouldn't be doing it. The left should be pushing people to do more than vote, not less.
"Your boss does more than vote, your landlord does more than vote, your insurance company does more than vote, and you need to as well if you want to beat them."
The left needs to push "both sides are bad" (which is true), not "both sides are the same (which is false).
Pushing people to do more is absolutely good but first you have to get them to believe that's there is a reason they should. Pushing people not to vote isn't going to help but clearly stating that no matter who's in charge the government doesn't care about them is an important first step to getting them to see the need for more direct action. "Fortunately" Biden is really helping on that front.
Both sides are bad is true but shallow. "Neither side will give you what you need to live and thrive. Alone you are powerless, together we can demand and not beg" is much more powerful. Getting into the details of what we should demand is best kept for more committed comrades. (it's communism)

Don't push people not to vote, push them to end their belief that you can accomplish anything good through voting.
