Anarchism

I think my voting red line would be when voting doesn't make a difference anymore.

For example if we had one participant in the election who wanted Bibi to finish the job in Gaza, deport all the illegal immigrants and any number of the legal ones, put his political opponents in prison, use the power of the presidency to make sure future elections were "fair," undo any and all climate regulations, IDK do I really need to keep going? And then if their opponent also wanted to do that, then voting doesn't matter. If instead of that, their opponent has literally any minor or major flaw whatsoever, but isn't planning on ending democracy and shooting all the anarchists and Palestinians, then voting to choose that participant can be a good thing.

I really don't get this logical framework where voting is doing some kind of favor for the politician class. They don't give a shit. They mostly get paid either way. Someone wins, maybe it's one person or the other, but in any case, voting is a way to influence the government to do thing A or thing B. If you don't care which one it is, then you don't need to vote. If thing B is objectively a murderous horror, then choosing thing A can be a good idea in terms of self-preservation, even if thing A is also not exactly what you want.

Kamala Harris isn't shooting any Palestinians. She didn't start the war, she's not in charge of the government that's aiding and supporting the war. She might or might not do enough to prevent if she wins. Probably she won't. How does that make it irrelevant whether we get her, or we get the guy who wants to accelerate the war and kill more Palestinians and also a whole bunch of other people of all kinds of ethnicities worldwide?

What is this argument? That if enough people don't vote, the government will say "Aww, you got me!" and fold and collapse and then it'll finally be anarchist utopia? No, they love people not giving a shit about politics. It lets them do whatever they want without worrying about suffering at the ballot box for it. If all the young motivated caring-about-Palestinians type of people stopped voting, they'd be thrilled, and then they'd just keep doing whatever and every so often gun down a protest or put them all in prison whenever they got out of line.
