closet-keys:
one thing some leftists near me were doing regarding the voting question that I thought was really rad was voluntarily “giving” their vote to someone who didn’t have the legal right to vote. For example, they’d chat with someone imprisoned or someone previously convicted of a felony who lost voting rights about who they supported or would vote for, and then on Election Day they’d fill out their ballot accordingly.
I thought it was a really useful/practical take on politically consciously choosing not to vote, while simultaneously helping to get voting rights for those who are systematically denied them.
anyway, midterms are coming up, and if you can’t in good conscience vote- that might be a strategy to consider
