Ok, so why not vote for the lesser evil then? It would increase the amount of time we have to organize without fascists cracking down on us.

The fascists have already been cracking down on people trying to organize.

Yes! Why not vote for the lesser evil to prevent harsher crackdowns than you would otherwise get?

Because it doesn’t prevent anything.

So your solution is defeatism?

A bold strategy, let’s see how it pays off. /s

I’m not arguing against voting. I’m claiming that it’s not a valid strategy. You can partake, if you really want to.

Ok, this could just be me getting lost in the comment chain. To be clear you don’t think voting for the lesser evil is harmful, but you also don’t think it is a valid strategy. If that is true, I see no inconstancies in your arguments.

Pretty much. Since electoralism is inconsequential for progressive change: vote if you want.

Advocating voting for a lesser evil could be considered harmful, though.
