Ok but this is c/electoralism
Ok, I read the article and it reaffirmed what I believed and didn't convince me. Am I not allowed to disagree with the take of the article and must agree with electorialism to participate in a community about it when I am subject to the laws and politicians that are put into power this way? I didn't say that no one should be into electorialism, This didn't sway me.
Kind of, in my opinion it's equivalent to going into c/anarchism or c/Marxism just to comment about how much you disagree. It isnt impossible to have a productive discussion I suppose, but it doesnt seem like you are engaging with an open mind by my impression.
Im really not trying to be rude or anything, it is just a bit frustrating at times because anti-electoralism is the dominant view of the instance, which stifles discussion around the topic for those of us who care to engage with it. I view c/electoralism as the venue where we can set aside anti-electoralism and have those discussions, since the whole rest of the instance still exists.
