An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

You should still vote though. Just also do other stuff, but if you don't vote because 'both options are bad', the greater bad will occur.
It’s entirely situational. Some people are in locations where voting would have no meaningful affect because it’s so partisan.
Time and energy could be better spent elsewhere in those cases.
I dunno what it's like where you are, but voting in Canadian elections usually takes 15-45 minutes (for the 80% of Canadians in urban areas). I'm hard pressed to think of something you could with 45 minutes/year that would have a greater effect.
