Use all the tools at your disposal. Vote for the better of the candidates, and then also take direct action or whatever.
It’s stupid to “protest the system” by rejecting the method it does give you to steer it. If it’s ineffectual, you’ve lost nothing. If you happen to be one of 10,000 that markedly changes the outcome away from an outwardly evil candidate, then you have made a significant positive difference.
If the system imposes two evil candidates or options to me, I reject the system. I'm just not deluded about my state in the machine like most liberals.
yeah, that’s basically giving up any power you do have.
let me know how the direct action works out.
It's not power. It's an illusion. Direct action is what has given us anything from the 40 hour week to civil rights.
