It's a carrot, not a stick, but either way electoralism won't save anyone.

Says the guy advocating poorly applied electoralism

Not once have I said voting will do any real good.

[–] dwemthy@lemdro.id 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not in those words

I'm voting both pragmatically and with my conscience by voting for Claudia De La Crúz.

With the goal of

Removing legitimacy from the system itself, and forcing the DNC to appeal to the left

Is that not good? Or is it not real?

Or maybe it won't have that effect? Because that's an idealistic plan, not a pragmatic one

It's a minor effect, equivalent to signal boosting a good message. My single vote isn't going to do jack shit in the grand scheme of things, organizing will.
