True - but the quote didn’t say “go do stuff in the community, spread awareness, lead thru example!” it said “don’t bother voting, and if you do then you’re a class traitor.”
I agree that the Dems /also/ suck. But the degrees of suck matter. It’s similar to equating cancer with the flu - They both suck, but given a choice, I know which I’d prefer.
Even tho you’re banned I’d like to point out that I didn’t imply what you meant, YOU are the one that applied “laziness” to the quote, and then as a response you made up your own version of the quote saying that voting and staying home (“being lazy”) are your only 2 options.
Donate money to REAL local orgs (not DSA), your local food shelf, etc. If you can’t afford money then you can always try to afford the time. Show up and feed some people or put a little bit of money on it, most food shelves have a subscription based thing so you can ditch Prime/HBO and use that money on your food shelf; anonymously or with your name in big big lights, whatever you prefer.
I agree with all the actions you propose, and already do much of it.
It’s the quote in the OP that makes my hackles rise. Voter apathy on the left is how we end up with the worst possible outcome of democracies. Voting (even strategically) doesn’t make you a class traitor - it makes you an adult.

More like the flu for you or cancer for two million other people. Given the choice, we know which you prefer.
Ya… sure. Look at the state the US is in right now and tell me again how not voting helps the cause.
