I never said voting keeps people from organizing. I said funneling people into the elecoral system as though it's a valid means of enacting societal change depresses revolutionary organizing. It legitimizes the system. The point isn't "voting stops organizing," it's about how the working class understands itself.

Yep! I never said voting causes apathy, I pointed to the way people treat voting as a cause of apathy towards organizing. Critical distinction!

Which you failed to prove regardless.

I gave evidence, you pretended the evidence didn't support my point because you continued to pretend my point was a different one entirely.
