Voting for the lesser evil won't make things better, just less worse than if it was the worst evil.
Revolt is needed for improvement.
Revolt needs that people get involved in politics rather than submit to it as slaves.
Discouraging vote is mostly to discourage from participating in politics.
Encouraging to care about politics encourages to vote and to follow decision made. It comes with critics of that decisions, and can lead to revolts, and therefore improvements.
Those planning to do a revolution "later" just sell fake dreams. If you offer a revolution now, do it clearly, and make it start now. It needs to be obvious who is behind it, and what the revolt is for.
As long as you can't overthrow the system, make your best so that the people's life doesn't go too wrong, even when it implies voting for some bastards because they are at some point less dangerous than the other bastards.
With who will it be easier to negociate? On who will it be easier to put a pressure that has a chance to bring positive results?
