Should I vote Republican to slow down full blown let it all hang out fascism because I don’t want to vote Democrat? I am trying to hack a machine that just needs recycled. What a dusty old thing. I have had it with both. The more both parties go at each other the greater the odds of a environment ripe with revolutionary potential. Like I know things are only going to get worse. Has anyone else thought of being a obstructionist? Like some how I am removed from the material conditions. Voting reminds me of the plaform at 3:10.

    You’re citing examples of other forms of redress, not disproving the effectiveness of voting. I never claimed voting was the only (or even the most effective) form of redress, only that it is one.

    Don’t bother responding, you have nothing of value to offer other than your absurd soapbox.

      How about you name 1 (just one) systemic change won through voting under liberal democracy. (Oh wait you can’t because it’s never happened).

        Are you under the impression that the only way things happen is by direct vote on the issue? Nearly everything you cite is a result of the elected officials in power. Put there by the voters.
