Very nice that you are an outlier
To the contrary, this is the mainstream Marxist opinion. You’re fighting strawmen.
Consider this. Installing Linux is rather easy, but you do have to make an installer. Most people won’t and that becomes a filter. If you can’t get people to care enough to vote they are very likely not going to do anything else.
We don’t need everyone to join the communist party. Instead, we need the party to gain the trust of the people and become the people’s chosen party.
This method is tried and true.
enjoy losing out on more influence at the discussion table.
You haven’t proven this, and are more proving my point. If you personally are not organizing in real life, and instead just voting and hoping other people do all of the hard work for you, then you aren’t doing anything at all.

You haven’t proven this What proof do you need that a massive and visible movement will have influence? That group being able to coordinate to show up for an election is also a demonstration that they can show up for other events like protests and strikes. It also shows the movement that they do infact have the strength. It shows the opposition that you do in fact have to be taken seriously. Like I have said all along, elections help build credibility. Not sure what proof you need on such an obvious statement.
