          Voting takes me 5 minutes, especially since I get my ballot in the mail.

          I guess Star Trek episodes are a lot shorter than I thought

            Withholding your vote is the only way to push the democrats left. Otherwise they know you’re their little piggies who’ll lick their heels and vote for them just because they’re not Republicans despite the growing lack of material difference. You’re their subs. Make them either work earn your vote or perish. Don’t you see the pattern occurring again and again since Clinton? The dems move right and hold try to hold the left hostage with the Republicans as a threat. Things were pretty much the same under Trump as Biden, don’t be a coward and hold your party accountable. They don’t deserve your vote for being better than Trump.

            Edit: also, die in a house fire you annoying little dweeb

            Voting takes me several hours out of work. Work that I need to do to keep my roof and lights on, it also eats into actual direct action work I do IRL.

            Voting is fucking worthless except if there is some exceptionally cool local city council person or w/e to vote for.

              It absolutely sucks but voting locally is a way you can improve your ability to vote. Incremental improvements towards leftist policies at the local level will sway more people to leftist policies, resulting in greater support overall towards the left.
