This is what believing in elections does. Complacent on victory, depressed in defeat. Disregard elections and take direct action. Nobody can take that away from you.

Voted as an attempt at harm reduction. But i had mail-in so it took me 2 minutes.

Believe in them or not, they're not for change. You're right insofar as popular direct action creates tangible change in the world.

I know this is from a different account, but fml. I'm sure you are aware of how depressing things are as a fellow anarchist. I have to go vote, because I try to give a shit.

It's because I give a shit that I try to point people should not give up hope because the electoral system didn't go "their way". If you're already doing direct action, just keep doing it. Nothing changes and your direct actions actually changes things. If you're not doing it, why not?
