I mean, the idea that withholding your vote is an effective way to send a national political party a message that they should only support candidates that you like regardless of any other considerations is such an incredibly individualistic, neoliberal approach to politics. And like, we just went through this two years ago. Come on.

I think that line of logic comes with growing up in the US and believing that we live in a democracy and that your participation in that democracy matters. Better idea tho: if the majority of the working class withheld their votes/stopped participating in the current oligopoly masquerading as democratic governance and created a new system where workers ruled themselves, that would be more effective than voting in centrist democrats for the rest of eternity 🙂

oh yeah, of course, just create a new system. Shit how did I forget about that? How’s that going anyway? You guys got something ready to go in the next month or two? Everything’s in place? The whole working class is on board? I mean, it’s so simple, and obviously everyone will go along with it. I know you guys are great with planning and logistics and aren’t just wasting your time posting guillotine memes. I’m so glad you added this helpful suggestion to my post  🙂
