Glad you did, please help encourage more people to do so as well. We could all have an even bigger leftist movement. Voting is only a small part of what we need to do, but we should not neglect it.
You’re tiring. Voting will not meaningfully advance the leftist movement beyond advertisement, and acting like this stance is counter-productive is harmful to getting meaningful change.
It is still helpful to be heard and minimize harm. Its good that you are privileged and won’t be targeted by ICE for example, but others are. Voting as left as possible shows that the overall population is not going to welcome them.
Enjoy your privilege @[email protected], the rest of us do have to deal with the consequences of the elections.

Voting does not accomplish that! Voting will NOT make you heard and voting will NOT minimize harm. Your insistence that it does accomplish these things is what is harmful.
Telling people to do useless things saps their energy away from doing things that actually are meaningful like organizing. Voting is used as a tool by the bourgeois to get people to think they “did their duty” politically, so they can relax and not worry about having to do more even though “more” is still the bare minimum (voting is less than bare minimum). You have been duped by the bourgeois. Smarten up.
Bold assumption that ICE isn’t an active threat to myself and those I care about, and no matter what the election results show, ICE is still a bipartisan institution. What stops ICE is organizing, striking, and protesting, not whether or not I vote Green, PSL, etc. ICE doesn’t give a shit who people voted for, they aren’t a democratic institution, they are here to forcibly deport and kill people.
Enjoy your privledge, where you think voting is a meaningful way to resist ICE.
