      Is the greater of two evils going to do any more to support your movement? One of the two is getting elected, whether anyone likes it or not

        Only getting elected because liberals have no preverbial balls to do what’s right and refuse to support fascism. We don’t need or want the support of evil, the goal is to eliminate the evil

      If you honestly think absetention is more useful than engagement then by all mean abstain. The rest of us will make the decisions.

          Voters get what they want, rarely, but it does happen sometimes.

          Non voters have to take much riskier and more costly actions to be acknowledged.

          Funny thing is most Americans can do both. Direct action rarely leads to losing voting rights, and voting certainly doesn’t prevent organizing or direct action.
