Prominent leftists I know argue that democrats dont deliver meaningful change but they still encourage people to vote. they say dems go harder against progressives than they do against republicans. And I agree with them.
Not voting does nothing. It doesn’t deliver meaningful change. It doesn’t help. Doesn’t fix.
There’s a lot to lose by not voting. It’s a privilege to vote and run for office, and as a Republic, it’s people’s civic duty to use it.
If you don’t like it, running for election yourself, organizing, unionizing, those are the strongest methods to realistically to fight back. Revolution rarely comes as long as people are moderately comfortable — and that’s the only other option.
For presidential, there’s only 2 options. But if you go down to local level, third parties can be viable.
Only just over 60% of democracies go back to democracy after being authoritarian, and I have never been one to play with gambling the odds
