Talking all the time about voting and presenting it as a solution is a real problem. Literally lying that the Democrats are good as an attempt at harm reduction is very fucking stupid for socialists to do.

But voting itself is usually very quick and easy (especially if you're white), so it's generally silly not to. I'd rather fight Democrats than Republicans, and it takes like half an hour. It's not a personal moral endorsement. If it took a few weeks yeah you should do something more useful for a few weeks, but it's like half an hour. Despite the marginal utility, it's probably better than whatever else you can do in half an hour.
