Yes. Voting is useful for showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system doesn't work. Just because it isn't capable of causing any meaningful change doesn't mean it's useless.

I feel like there needs to be a good word for someone who has the capacity to do better burlt chooses to dwell in ignorance and should be ashamed of that.

"People hated living under communism just ask them"

Actually you'll find most people preferred living under communism

"They're just blinded by nostalgia"

So you can't just ask people about what it was like under communism?

"No you can, if you did you'd find they all hated it"

Monkey's paw curls. Raw chicken is now more expensive than cooked chicken; The price of cooked chicken remains the same.

Anarchists are left. Anything to the left of capitalism is left. Anarchists want to get rid of capitalism.

People can make racist jokes. But the punchline has to be more than just "haha racism". If only racists are laughing at your joke, it's not a funny joke, you're just being racist.

The genocide that happened under Biden is the same one happening under Trump. Saying "but Trump will do more genocide" makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

And saying "Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground" when the x in question is a genocide makes you a genocide belittling prick.
