sommerfeld on Nostr: I'm honestly surprised that there is such an overwhelming preference for "not voting" ...
I'm honestly surprised that there is such an overwhelming preference for "not voting" in the replies. Very interesting.
I guess I expected that even anarchists might generally prefer to maximize their potential political impact within the existing system.
What's your opinion on "picking the lesser evil" (e.g. voting)?
On one hand, it can potentially prevent more harm to you relative to the "worst evil".
On the other hand, it legitimizes the power of the pickee over you, when you also despise it.
