    Relying on elections is how you give away all of your political power to the wealthy class. Both parties represent the rich, we need to be organizing grassroots networks that can take political power, not ask for it.

      Telling people not to vote is how you give away all of your political power to people who vote.

      How’s Trump in office again feeling for you after you convinced enough people to stay home?

        Where did I tell people not to vote? I’m saying that if voting is the only political action you take, you are declining to have a significant impact on politics. Voting is the least effective political action you can take, but it’s still political action.
