    Of course not all anarchists vote, but those of us who are most committed to doing all we can, care about voting. We recognise that it’s incredibly easy compared to arrestable actions, so it has a very good effort to effect efficiency. Those of us who believe in doing everything in our power are inclined to treat people who don’t bother voting with suspicion, since it’s so easy and it could have prevented the impending trans genocide if enough people had done it.

        When someone tells me they’re only motivated by things getting better; by hope, what I learn is that they have not in their life needed to learn fear. Things have not gotten so bad that they have learned to fear being attacked. They are detached enough from consequences that they think nothing getting better is the worst that could possibly happen to them. It’s a privilege I envy.

          What part of “the right coming after them anyways” sounds like things getting better to you??? Get the fuck off your self righteous high horse, being ruled by fear to the point of paralysis is not a fucking virtue.

          Cute.

          By assuring the Harris campaign that you would vote for her no matter what, her campaign decided to ignore the uncommitted movement. You and the other blue-no-matter-whos made it impossible for us to pressure her to distance herself from Biden’s genocide.

          You are the reason Harris continued to support Biden’s unpopular genocide, and the reason she lost. If people like you had helped us she would have campaigned differently, and won.

          You don’t get to wash your hands of that. You undermined the only power we have as voters to pressure candidates.

          And you always will. You’ll do it next time when they nominate Liz Cheney to run against Trump’s third term.

          Stop taking away our power to pressure Democrats.

      You’re just flat out wrong. That jackass didn’t admit, he fucking bragged, that that non-citizen cracked the election for him durng “the” inauguration speech at ~53min in.

      So it don’t matter who anyone “voted” for.
