If only it were only casting the vote. But people chose to do canvasing, helping in electoral campaigns and arguing online that's actually taking away the energy.
Vote, if you want. Pray, if you want. Curse capitalists, if you want. But don't expect it to change anything.
Voting doesn't have to include putting all your faith in the system is my point.
I'm not against it if you don't have faith in the system. I'm against the propaganda.
Totally fair! I'm not pretending voting works in a fascist system, but the numbers are more likely to make change at the lower levels of government, and there are many reasons (even statistics) that voting has a net positive effect rather than a net negative, even if the government will be corrupt either way.
