Lol.
Can you provide examples of countries with viable left leaning parties that didn't get there by voting?
You think working class organization is successful without voting in candidates that champion their cause?
Crazy how some people have very strong opinions on politics but no basic understanding of how democracy works
Can you elaborate?
You want change: organize and vote. Lots of comments here that seem to view politics as a show, as if we were powerless against the events that unfold week after week. It's only a show if you don't care enough to participate.
Oh we'll organize alright, but not for any of this vooting shit
Organizing is what puts actual pressure on the system, and is what won every single major working class victory. Not just wishcasting via voting. It has been through organizing that the Civil Rights Movement passed, that chattel slavery was abolished, and more.
