    Ah yes, just like voting Biden prevented abortion rights from being stripped away, or stopped the concentration camps on the border, or stopped endless wars. Yeah, I totally see why it’s so important to vote Biden.

    Again, I’ll try spell it out for you. I absolutely don’t care whether you vote or not. If it makes you feel like you’re participating politically, go ahead vote for Biden and feel like you’ve accomplished something. Your country is still going to be fascist and your right will still be stripped away, but you’ll get to feel really smug by having voted. The fact that Americans see voting as peak political participation is absolutely hilarious.

        Educate yourself on effective methods of building grassroots power. You can read up on how the labour movement organized in US back in the 30s which lead to the New Deal. Organize with people in your local community and help educate them. Join a principled organization that’s trying to effect meaningful change.

        Again, I’m not telling you not to vote. That’s just a straw man you keep erecting here. What I’m actually telling you is that voting on its own doesn’t accomplish much of anything.
