It’s quite the opposite: its your belief that voting is important, it’s your constant public ritual affirmation of the system that’s choking you, that disempowers you. A vote withheld is leverage. A vote given in exhange for nothing changes nothing, and only further normalizes fascist policy.

How, exactly, is not voting “leverage”? That’s the most trapeze ass brain gymnastics I’ve ever read. Refusing to vote literally doesn’t fix anything. If anything it makes whatever people who do vote have more influence, and with a bunch of conservative old fucks voting, I’m not willing to give them more say in things.
