@Octale @futurebird @georgetakei If all one does is vote in state elections, one ought to vote such that the fascists and oligarchs don't win. But if all one does is vote in state elections, that one is a fool. The mathematical structure is inherently unfair.
As a means of peacefully diffusing concentrations of power, and effecting other beneficial changes, state elections have been neutralized in most of the US. That is one less method that is inherently non-violent.
