@maddiefuzz I agree with all this.
Voting isn't meaningless.
I wish people could accept that sitting out voting is NOT the same as boycotting purchases from an evil company. It doesn't have a good effect, or send a positive message.
Plus, people need to question where and how exactly they drew the conclusion that you can vote OR strive to do direct action.
Because if I wanted to disrupt a democracy, I'd spread exactly that false dichotomy.
Vote. All our hands are already dirty.
