Nothing stops you from raising and talking about issues AND trying to use your vote to stop the fascist from getting into power. The “protest vote” is less effective than the discourse.
It’s important to point out, however, that liberals have been feeding leftists the lie that voting for democrats will result in moving to the left. It doesn’t, it just furthers liberalism.
As such, Leftists need to touch grass and actually organize on the ground, via Unionization and activism, to meaningfully get change.
Not voting demonstrates that our demographics are not reliable constituents. It pushes the Democrats further to the right as they seek moderate voters who actually show up to vote. If we want better candidates during an election year then we must be politically active in the four years leading up to the election.
Not everyone who stands up for democracy is a liberal.
