    I find a lot of people arguing that one shouldn’t vote because although easy, it is the least effective form of political engagement.

    I’d argue that you should vote because it is the easiest form of political engagment and, if possible considering your material conditions, you should also try to participate in other forms of engagement.

    Yep, I think that’s uncontroversial…

      Slaps table THANK YOU!

      Especially since those people refuse to actually provide an alternative form of political engagement besides vague references to a revolution, which has absolutely zero chance of coming out in the Prolitariat’s favor in Americas current political climate, because there is nowhere near enough class conciousness for that to happen.
