If you abstain from voting then you're basically lumping yourself in with people who don't care or actually are fine with the status quo. If you cast a blank vote then you're expressing your disapproval of all the candidates. Essentially saying "I'm willing to vote, but it won't be for any of you guys". This would make sense if the system worked but it doesn't.

Why is there a lemmy.ml and a lemmygrad.ml?
So I need a lemmy.ml account if I want to comment on most things?
Why do they have buttholes at the front of them?

Google "big crunch hypothesis"
You have to push it the whole way though 😔
Genuine question but if Mao was okay with state capitalism then why did Deng stir up so much controversy? I thought the whole reason people didn't like Deng was because of him bringing about state capitalism.
I think there are two separate youtube videos looking into the death toll of capitalism using the same methods the black book used and both were something like 1 billion deaths.
The death toll from communism comes from the black book of communism which was written by a staunch anti-communist who seeked out to prove communism killed 100 million people which is why it includes nazi deaths and people who weren't even born as victims of communism.
Damage mitigation isn't the only thing. By voting for the party you support you're showing solidarity with that movement and also demonstrating to everyone else how the system doesn't work.
