National races and US congress votes are like pissing into the ocean, it doesn’t do shit. I vote in local elections to keep assholes from running my city. Do I think it changes anything? Probably not, but I just sort of vote in local elections for my disenfranchised comrades who can’t
It’s like, yeah, I’m against this shit too, but I don’t consent to my trans life being sacrificed for some lofty ideal or some intangible goal of revolution. You can’t vote away capitalism and all of its injustices, but if all leftists refused to vote, the remaining voters would vote away my right to stay alive. Fuck that.
I’m an anti-electorialist but I still vote.
