Exactly. Some leftists are ignorant about how voting, even in dysfunctional liberal democracies, is the enemy of the unpopular, and that policies that people recognize as favoring the rich are unpopular. It's why they put so much effort into manipulating the media. When people are aware, the rich lose at the ballot box.

That. Your vote is a powerful weapon, and you can tell it is by how hard they work to take it away. And we need to bring all our weapons to bear if we're going to make it through this. That means vote, but it also means don't stop at voting.
