So you're positioning yourself against "voting" as a concept in this argument, if that isn't clear by the 23 downvotes

I'm positioning myself against "aristocratic selection mechanisms" which y'all insist on calling "voting".

So yeah, fuck "voting".

I suggest you go outdoors, maybe visit your local library, talk to some people. Ride a bus once in a while. It's good for ya.

If you practiced what you preach you wouldn't be this patronizing, condescending and dismissive.

Enjoy those public services while you can, so long as voting is your praxis, and you remain proudly ignorant of what that entails, they will continue to be defunded and privatized.

I condescend idiots who act as though voting does nothing. We managed to elect a socialist mayor in Seattle. The margin was under 1000 votes. Fucking vote.

And stop assuming just because someone is pro-voting means they don't participate in other effective forms of praxis. You have no idea what people are up to.

We managed to elect a socialist mayor in Seattle.

And what has that materially changed?

I know you'll argue that it's too early to expect anything, but mark my words that nothing will materially change. SPD's budget will continue to increase with the deficit taken from public services, homelessness and sweeps will continue to escalate and expect nothing more than apologetics when ICE/BPD starts to escalate in the area.

Your hope and optimism is being weaponised against you.

You have no idea what people are up to.

Quite the change in position from "go touch grass".

Am I wrong in stating that you view voting as a form of praxis?
