I didn’t say anything about the effectiveness of the communal support structures you mentioned. I think spending time putting effort into that is extremely valuable and important.
You said that if you didn’t waste time voting you’d have more time to put your efforts into communal support structures so I challenged you on that and you didn’t respond to that challenge.
So again I ask: do you put your time into developing or reinforcing communal support structures for other people?
I do not but I consider that a failure on my own part. I’ve been looking for ways I can help my community which won’t burn me out quickly on top of my dreary job.
I understand being angry about the state of American politics but I don’t understand why you’re venting your anger at me. I’ve been continuing this conversation because I legitimately would like to understand your point of view and potentially be persuaded.
Because for somebody who wants to understand my point of view you sure are spending a lot of time writing replies after I explicitly stated it three times.
Electoralism is pointless at anything above a county level, national democrats aren’t any better than Republicans, and even if they were the chances of them learning how to stop enthusiastically jumping on rakes is slim. You’ve done more to reduce human suffering by giving a homeless person a dollar than any kind of electoralism the DNC wouldn’t immediatly put out a statement condemning.

Fuck off nerd go pearl clutch elsewhere.
I’m saying take all the effort and time you would waste worrying about the futility of electoral politics and go organize a food drive.
