The important thing is to never vote, amiright comrades?
The important thing is to organize, and recognize the futility of relying on voting within bourgeois "democracy" to bring about positive change.
I agree with you and principal, But do you really believe that if people voted the other way in the last election we wouldn’t be seeing net less suffering right now?
Well you'd be SEEING less thanks to the likelihood of copmala having way better pr but in reality us of the periphery and USian minorities would still be subject to much the same just with a better spin for the Euro-Americans.
Remember Obama destroyed Libya. The Clinton's bombed Yugoslavia and Iraq as well as the entire Somali debacle.
In reality if you see non white suffering as counting odds are the net would be within the error bars if you graphed it.
That's certainly hard to directly claim either way, but the concept of "voting for the lesser of two evils" is partially responsible for what got us here.
