But that means voting for an genocidal imperialist who'd rather keep pushing that pro-capitalist agenda and sucking up to Fortune500 companies.
~Some leftist, probably

Thank you for saying this. I'm so tired of them gaslighting every conversation pretending like they aren't bottom feeders crawling out of the sewers every election cycle.
Anarchists prefer to not waste time by putting so much fucking energy into electoral politics. Vote, if you want (I'm not your Boss), but don't spend sooo much time into electoralism.
It's a small amount of energy to materially affect the environment in which you expend *real* energy on your praxis of choice. If you're not enthusiastically voting at least lesser evil, you're hamstringing your own praxis.
I'm going to be scrolling memes and shitposting either way because it's how I relax. I think my fun should be socially conscious instead of only being about me. I should spend time doing good for others if it costs nothing.
I don't know a single anarchist that 'prefer the quietly fascist party over the openly fascist party' most of them prefer to DA the military contractors that are party to the latest american-supplied genocide.
This meme template is pure gold. Cuts all ways :chefs-kiss:
With the republican party going full fascist yeah it's probably a good idea not to vote for them.
At any level much less the fuckin presidency.

They do said Democrat aren't left at all, and the real left is anarchy or something.
Well that's true. It's just that anarchists prefer the centrist party over the openly fascist party, because we don't want to live in a fourth reich.
Correctimundo!
I've been told the true leftists would rather live under fascism dejure then compromise their morals by lending any support to the democrats.
Yep, the Russian trolls sure are saying that a lot

WTF does my enthusiasm or lack thereof have to do with it.
Enthusiasm encourages others to follow suit.
don't tell me what to do
I didn't, just described the consequences
I'm not talking about the act of voting itself. I'm talking about discussions, canvassing and campaigning for some lesser evil candidate.
Why? You're the only one taking about that. I'm talking about the act of voting itself.
As if the mere act of voting is the only energy being put into electoralism.

There was very obviously no time for an open primary this election. Now talk about literally every single other election in recent history.

Oh but ensign crab recently told me she's a progressive and that's why people are excited?
A lot of leftists are claiming real leftists don't vote lately.
