Voting matters. Y’all should grow up. Yes, voting doesn’t solve everything but it clearly matters.

    You need to do better to advocate for other forms of praxis, I'm gonna be real. There's a good argument to be made that voting does more than nothing but you need to be clear that just voting is below the bare minimum and we're going to have to make some bacon and punch some Nazis for liberation as well.

      Of course! When have I not advocated for that??? Voting is a tool you use to help you defeat the Nazis. And not using it directly helps the Nazis.

              In the context of modern liberal capitalist regimes, it absolutely is. Not the most important tool, but it is a tool.

                yeah, if you withhold your vote as bloc and force the democrats to negotiate with you. otherwise, you're just performing a meaningless ritual.

                  I agree with this, we need to be more proactive about convincing people not to vote, and for ideologically consistent reasons.
