The irony could not be more palpable

Honest question, why can you guys never go five seconds without proving the adage that all reactionary politics is sexual pathology

"Fascism? I'm totally fine with it" -conservatives

"Fascism? Well... As long as the other guy is 1% more fascist I'm totally fine with it" -liberals

Ah yes, more "don't bother voting" propaganda.

The message should be "you need to do more than just vote"

Ah yes, more “don’t bother voting” propaganda.

the heart of the issue seems to be the legitimacy that voting gives to a system -- participate if you chose do, just do so w the awareness of the fact your participation was more beneficial to the status quo than it was to you.

and, yes, you do need to do more than just vote; but if you lack an understanding of why your increased participate is now necessary you'll be treading water at best -- like the democrats.

there have been people who've been in this situation before and wrote down what they did with the benefit hindsight included -- if you look at their stuff you'll find out what you need to do beyond voting.

So your all proposing we purge every other year. Thats your best idea

"Hey we need to build proletarian organizations to channel political energy in a non-dead end direction"

You:

The system is "self-legitimazing" regardless of how many people choose not to vote. Consider the current president didn't even get the majority of votes.

Instead of buying into the liberal myth that voting creates legitimacy, look at voting as choosing which boss you are going to fight.

Pushing "don't even bother trying" is just supporting the fascists.

If you hear "voting for the polite fascists is not really better than voting for the loud ones" and take that as "don't even bother trying", then you really may as well not bother trying, bcs nothing you were trying was ever going to help, and most of it will just strengthen the fascists.

Please point to the part of the meme / title that encouraged voting for anyone let alone anything else. This is just disenpowerment and pushes the narrative that it's hopeless to try anything at all under the guise of "liberals bad" (which I don't necessarily disagree with, but this is training people to give up entirely)

If you actually thought this the only time you would give this response is when voting was actually occurring.

Capitalists must be so relieved that socialist and communist enclaves advocate disengaging from the electoral process, as if an afternoon or less spent voting, two if you vote in a primary, precludes one from otherwise protesting, organizing, or lifting a finger to resist.
