i’ll start: most “vote blue no matter who” liberals are actually good people (not including terminally online liberals as anyone who is terminally online is a bad person)

Leftists should vote and participate in “democracy” whenever it’s possible to do so without causing further harm. Yeah I know it won’t prevent fascism from taking over but anything that will delay it even slightly is a good thing. And I’m immediately suspicious of anybody who pushes not voting as part of an op.
Should I vote for Biden or Trump to evade fascism? It seems like they’re both goosestepping along.
If I vote for Biden am I partially responsible for the stripping away of abortion rights, the growing anti-trans movement, escalation of the Ukraine War, or the failure to respond to climate change?
I’ll vote locally for the lady that wants more trees in the park, but national elections are a sham and I will not participate.
I’m starting to believe not-voting is a reasonable strategy, but it requires large public support.
The point of democracy is that you’re supposed to withhold your vote when you don’t like a candidate, so the fact that there are no large groups purposely withholding their vote until better candidates present themselves is a concern in and of itself.
If voting does absolutely nothing else, it shuts down libs who shut off their brain if you tell them you don’t vote. Shit, at least lie about voting.
Agreed. Especially local politics. Is voting a joke? Yes. But Trump’s election brought a new wave of right-wing extremists that are far more dangerous. Not voting seems accelerationist. Modern republicans are actively trying to subvert democracy in clear ways like kicking out reps. The Republicans wouldn’t be playing the game if it weren’t worth playing.
