Voted as an attempt at harm reduction. But i had mail-in so it took me 2 minutes.
Believe in them or not, they're not for change. You're right insofar as popular direct action creates tangible change in the world.
People keep insisting how little time it takes them when the argument against electoralism is toward the massive amount of volunteer work wasted around it and the show of support to the concept itself.
Yeah but we can see from liberalism that a "show of support" means jack shit. The ballot is a tool to quell the masses against revolt. Participation there doesn't mean you accept it as the whole of your political voice.
The volunteer work is a bullshit aspect. It certainly means the majority of electoral workers are those with the ability to volunteer. Hence, lead poisoned boomers.
