Im doing more than voting though.

I never claimed you weren't, Im claiming that you're limiting political engagement solely to participating in bourgeois elections (voting, running, etc)

Are you running for office yourself?

No, I, a trans woman, am not running for school board while fascists are screaming about how all trans women are pedophiles. I would like to not get stochastic murdered.

Are your candidates winning?

Enough of them are that we are close to cementing power.

I will point out that you did not interface with the bulk of my comment, which is about building power. How are you building community power?

Right now Im in the suburbs so things like tenant unions are difficult since almost everyone owns their homes and right now the best path for the community is keeping fascists out of power while trying to get the overtly racist town board members out of office.

We are having some luck with the latter as those racists have cost the town a bunch money recently and voters are pissed.
