I broadly agree with you, but I think this kind of debate is actually very productive, I don’t see it as wasteful fighting at all, if I can convince a single person who would have otherwise just voted and take no other action to realize that just voting isn’t enough and to get involved with activism efforts, then all of my efforts in this thread will have been worthwhile. That’s what I’m here to do, building solidarity across the working class, and raising awareness of the issues with electoralism.
Yeah, that’s fair. In leftist spaces we should have healthy debate. We just can’t let that undermine solidarity with our more and less radical members.
