Yeah, that's why the people who's ideology is reinforcing the current power structure and reverting it to even worse times are so hell bent on sabotaging the vote.
Speaking against the tool of the proletariat to enact their will without having to fight a war for it every fucking time makes you nothing but a class traitor.
The vote in a "western democracy" isn't the "tool if the proletariat" that us a crazy take.
It is literally the main tool by which further democratic rights have been obtained in those western democracies, contrary to your giveaway scare quotes.
Be it by referenda, passage of law, or by constitutional amendment, every single advancement has been made through the organization of the proletariat as a voting block.
Stop being a fucking class traitor because you don't want to admit that sitting on your ass doesn't send any kind of message other than that you have done nothing for the working class.
Why are you downplaying voting? Yes, organizing strikes and many years ago larger movements created opportunities to pass monumental bills. Yet, there have been SO many laws and discussions since then that did not involve some form of violence or shutdown of some port. By voting together we can enact change. We create it through one voice. Even if our desires are different in the moment, we all want a better life. Why not take every advantage we can to make one?
