Maybe a bit doomer but when talking about channeling energy into alternatives to electoral politics in the imperial core it’s hard not to feel like you’re hyping up someone with a broken back walking up to try and deadlift eight hundred pounds

    The problems with voting are more the mentalities of:

    1. All I need to do is vote
    2. I have to vote for a Democrat because the other guy is worse, even if the Democrat is doing awful things too

    Voting is probably the easiest form of political participation and it’s definitely the form that gets the most press coverage. Leftists can take advantage of those things, as shown by the “uncommitted” votes going on now.
