    Nah your overall meme is defeatist as fuck. Your saying no matter who you vote for the trolley will run ove everyone. I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but this bullshit dichotomy doesn’t help.

      Saying voting won’t work just means you need to try something else. It’s only defeatist if you don’t try anything.

      And, absolutely do vote. Vote for the lesser evil. But don’t stop there! Voting alone is not going to fix it.

      If all we do is vote, the trolley will continue to run over everyone. That isn’t defeatist, it’s a recognition of reality. We need an organized working class to push for change outside of the ballot box. That’s how all of the major change in history happened, through protests, unrest and civil disobedience.
