    People do care, but the state doesn’t reflect the will of the people, but the will of the ruling class. In the US Empire, that’s the capitalist class. People will not get change by voting, but by organizing.

      Any reason not to do both? Democrats are bad, but Republicans are obviously worse.

        If people actually organize, I don’t care if they vote or not. If someone’s only political engagement is via voting, then they’re doing little to nothing.
