Alright, normally I'm loath to do this, I can stomach some pretty awful opinions from other anarchists, but I'm revoking that circle-A card. Yelling about how voting is a waste of time is like the one thing we're all supposed to be on the same page on. Our dreams don't fit in their ballot boxes you fuckin dip.
depends where you are in some countries like Britain and France there is some good achievable through electoralism. Not communism but enhanced worker rights and not getting involved in adventurist wars so it's worth putting in the effort to vote. maybe even campaign a little
There is no good comes from tactical voting your vote is an indication of which policies you are willing to accept so if you vote for people you don't like then there will never be anyone you like better because that niche has already been served. Do not vote for Starmer or for the Democrats
Both of these countries of course are deeply fucked up but electoralism is less pointless there than in the US
again you cannot achieve communism through electoralism but you can make small changes in the big scheme of things that still make things better. Like for example France not joining the Iraq war or the UK not joining in Vietnam, or universal healthcare
