If voting could produce substantial reform it would have been made illegal.

The right consistently acts to disenfranchise voters who might vote against them.

There is never an appropriate time for holding anyone accountable, during the primaries everyone says we can’t support a reform candidate because they’ll loss in the general

Who says that? Primaries are the perfect time to support a reform candidate, I’ve never heard anyone oppose that.

The fact I get so much angry push back for even minor critisism is evidence that people have let themselves be cooped.

It’s much better evidence that people are, rightfully, concerned that the both-sides rhetoric minimizes the very real differences and increases the appeal of abstentionism in a close race with serious consequences.

The more corrupt & brutal police departments are in Democratic strongholds.

Cities. Police departments are much more corrupt in Republican strongholds, it’s just that the scale is smaller because the departments are smaller. Additionally, the corruption is less apparent because it’s so pervasive that it never sees the light of day. Cities show more corrupt departments because the departments are bigger, and they’re more likely to be exposed.

I honesty think mutual aid activism is far more productive then spending time trying to get people to vote.

Sure, maybe. But they’re not mutually exclusive. And discouraging people from voting is entirely counter-productive.
