    Then why do you advocate against voting each and every time people say to vote?

        You say it’s something that keeps people from organizing. It’s not hard to draw a line as to what you think people should do, with you being pro organizing.

          I never said voting keeps people from organizing. I said funneling people into the elecoral system as though it’s a valid means of enacting societal change depresses revolutionary organizing. It legitimizes the system. The point isn’t “voting stops organizing,” it’s about how the working class understands itself.

            Further, when people treat voting as their primary means of political engagement, they do check out!

              Yep! I never said voting causes apathy, I pointed to the way people treat voting as a cause of apathy towards organizing. Critical distinction!

                  I gave evidence, you pretended the evidence didn’t support my point because you continued to pretend my point was a different one entirely.
