MODERATORS
You know how to guarantee that you have no power? Don’t vote. Not voting is 100% the best way to screw yourself over and the worse a candidate is the more they’re hoping people with any kind of morals stay home.
Suck it up and vote. It sucks and needs to be better but not voting is such a bullshit stance that fails everyone.
It must be wild being that naive. You’re not clever, you’re handing an incredibly high amount of power to the people who want to use it to fuck you over basically for the fun of it.
You do need to do what you say but if you don’t vote because you’re too busy throwing a temper tantrum you’re going to find that organizing, under what will basically be a far-right dictatorship, will be…rather difficult.
Moderates are always first against the wall no matter who wins, but they tend to share their mass graves with the Anarchists who put them there. Don't be a useful idiot
So set up cults then.
You just said voting bad, so those alternatives are all going to inherently involve autocratic systems arising out of whatever "not voting" system you try to run with.
This plus the displayed disdain for the greater society you're intending to separate from indicates you will inherently be more likely to establish a cult under your model, be it Waco or Jim Jones, it will end up as a cult.
