I'm not against voting if it helps your class interest. I also know that the small group that protested didn't let trump win they simply didn't vote. Same happened here in Britain were would be Tories voters protested and now we have the limp neo liberal labour party in power, still banning pubity blockers, still wanting to sell our NHS, doing fuck all to stop fascist party's like reform uk from taking power and spouting racist Nazi rhetoric. If anything our "left" wing party are going after activists.
The best we can do is act within the unions to organise counter demos to challenge the fascists. Historically fascism is lost in the streets. Not in politics.
I used to think Jordan Peterson was based. I lacked an understanding of materialism. Wasn't till I found out what cptsd was that it clicked, we are all products of our environments.
Is there a metric that actually shows leftist didn't vote? But either way I doubt anyone was okay with a trump win on the left. They simply didn't vote democrats.
