Voting is lib bullshit that perpetuates the capitalist system. Anyone selling you voting as a solution is a right winger who wants billions to die.
The only solution is revolution.
Did you even fucking read what they said?
It's a tool within a greater idea, not the solution.
Voting is a tool that works as well as the system it's used in is working. When things are going well, voting is incredibly useful, when things are going poorly, all it can do is nudge things a tiny bit, rarely to any avail. Still, if someone's got me tied up, you bet I'm struggling against those ropes, even if the movement isn't much. I'm not just struggling, though - I'm also yelling and biting. Do everything you can to fight back, regardless of the utility.
Can't you vote and do a revolution, whenever that's going to happen
Not as long as voters keep thinking voting is the solution.
It's not one or the other, you can still vote to try and minimize damage while working towards or dreaming about revolution.
Good sir, WHAT DAMAGE‽
Some candidates are worse than others. You'd preferably would want the less shit one to win
If a political system yields worse candidates, why then should one support a system that still causes damage‽ Why are you blaming a voter for being responsible for harm reduction, when the system still creates damage?
