I did read your comment. You said “voting is seen as a way to bring about change when in reality it’s anything but.” In this particular election in this particular year, that’s very obviously not true, and seems like a particular and pernicious message. In my opinion.

If you’d been commenting under a pro-activism-outside-voting post, we’d be having a whole different conversation, because there is a lot of your comment that I agree with. You’re commenting under an anti-voting post though, and there are definitely parts of this post and your comment that I disagree with.

I’ve been noticing a lot of recycled memes, this one over ten years old, targeted at leftist communities, with a general subtle message of “don’t vote.” You can explain it for outsiders as much as you like; if you think that’s a good thing or not worthy of comment, then I’m not sure what to tell you.

Edit: I calmed down my language a little
