Voting is the bare minimum. You want real change do MORE, not LESS. What a shit take. "it isnt working so lets give up"

And gtfo with your "what we need is a revolution" shit, if that's how you feel go start one, or accept that you not voting is you giving up, because what real concrete steps are you taking besides not voting, and shitposting about it.

Nah, voting at least does something. A very tiny bit of something, the smallest possible amount in fact, but it's more than nothing, which makes it preferable to praying. Don't stop voting if you're able to, that's exactly what republicans want, hence all their attempts to make voting as hard and inaccessible as possible. Or if you're not gonna vote, at the very very least do some form of direct action, like protests or mutual aid or something

While voting does not, and has not historically brought about significant, necessary change, it might get you a small victory before the moderates claim total victory (see the American civil rights movement).

Being anti-electoral without advocating other options for political action in a climate that emphasizes voting as the method of political action has a political nihilism to it thats kinda shitty. I don’t think the answer to good political mobilization is screaming from the hilltops that voting is pacification and therefore you should toss out voting as political action, even if you are right about voting having a pacifying effect, and even if the impacts of voting are frequently minimal.

Even if the impact is insignificant, you should still vote. Having a diverse set of tools is one of the things that have gotten big successes in the past.

Ultimately, direct action gets the goods. The big victories of the civil rights movement came directly from political action, not voting. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote.

Nice try.

voting alone doesn't change shit and I think people miss that point heavily. voting blue doesn't fix the country, no shit no one is saying that, but it does make it a whole lot easier to make change when the president is just a regular POS and not a despotic dictator

I'm sure the people that agree with this aren't up voting the post, or down voting comments they disagree with, like hypocrites.

Yeah I didn't vote while living in battle ground state in 2016, and nothing of consequence occurred because of the inaction from people like me.
