Not voting (in your election)

hell, if I walked out and picked up one piece of litter off the street, I'd have more of an impact on my community than every vote you've ever cast in your life put together has had on yours.

Holy shit that's cynical as fuck. Jesus. Literally negating every bit of governmental progress since the founding of modern democracies? Can society do anything through organized government in your eyes?

Trying to reform democracy from within is like walking into a crooked casino and imagining you can win if you pick the right machine to play and spend enough money playing it. All the machines are rigged. The only winner is the house.

I see a pattern here...

And that's completely independent of my moral objections to a system based on, essentially, the tyranny of the majority.

Oof. So that explains quite a bit. If you find the concept of a democratic state to be inherently tyrannical I don't have much more to say. How can anyone agree on anything, if not by democratic decision making?

So yeah, I'm going to come here, to a community called "notvoting", and talk about not voting

Gotta be honest - I didn't notice the community name. I guess I'm asking for it here.

and what people could do instead.

That's something at least. I was a part of a local MA network near me during the pandemic. Doing something is important.
