![[META: serious and constructive discussion thread (radlibs will be yeeted tho)] You can both criticize the lackeys of capital *AND* vote for the ones slowing down the degeneration into fascism a bit](https://files.catbox.moe/zea2ii.jpg){kind=link}
(img translation: "Wind-up toys with a common key")
However, expending all your energy and agitprop potential on getting ppl to vote for the good cop instead of the bad cop, still legitimizes the dictatorship of capital (as well as it's sham democracies). It makes it seem like voting could solve systemic problems, instead of it just playing the game of late-stage capitalism. Anywayy.... that's my take (so probably incorrect)
This thing is a one-time thing tho, there is actually a sibling community for this kind of stuff: !actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Voting doesn't mean you are barred from other political action. It is important to put political pressure on the people you vote for, including organizing for specific politics.
You don't need DNC permission to organize if you vote Democrats in the general election.
