Voting is not mutually exclusive with whatever your alternative is.
Did that once, just like a cartoon. And while stumbling around bleeding, I stepped on it again. Had to get stitches.
I appreciate the sentiment, so I upvoted. Voting is integral to a liberal democracy, just start at the local level.
My thinking, being from the US personally, is if you have a solid grass roots coalition who can provide support it's a win. Getting someone elected at the top won't help if you don't have support underneath them.
"If voting worked they would make it illegal" is true, because they disenfranchise voters all the time. Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.
You have to pay taxes and is still under the jurisdiction of the laws, even if you do not vote. Why the fuck am I gonna forfeit my vote if I have to pay taxes? Nah, vote anyways, fuck the system, they want us to pay taxes, we should be loud, both on the streets and on the ballot.
