What is your voting red line? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This goes to all the peeps who support parliamentary voting as a valid political action.

If your society has been steadily progressing towards fascism for decades regardless of your voting (like the USA has been), is there any point, any action which will convince you that voting ultimately doesn't work?

Is so, what is it? What would your government have to do for you to acknowledge that voting doesn't matter? For many people, it was of course, supporting genocide (which is why so many states desperately try to deny a genocide is ongoing). But if genocide isn't, what is yours?

Eventually a society which has been slowly progressing towards fascism regardless of voting, will become fascist. And we all know what comes after that. There's always one thing where I think even the most hardcore parliamentarian will agree that voting ultimately didn't work: When they're personally being force-marched to the mass grave-sites.

Would that be your point? Or does it come earlier? If so, when?

At what point will anarchists stop bikeshedding about voting?

At what point are liberals going to stop sitting themselves and jerking themselves off and doing absolutely nothing? Let me answer that for you - never.

Maybe because the yanks are having their ridiculous election and this is what every post on lemmy is about?

Are the liberals going to stop being annoying if anarchists write enough impassioned comments about how voting is in fact NOT infinitesimally good, but is ACTUALLY infinitesimally bad?

Seriously y'all, move on. This doesn't matter. You definitely have better things to do with your time, even if it's just idle leisure. Go, be free. Let anarchist voting discourse chain you no more.
