Because who needs to thoughtfully engage with arguments about the utility of electoralism, when you can smugly make a bingo card, and pretend that you won?

    Not acknowledging any election other than the presidential general

    I check out every ballot in my local district. But all of the Democratic candidates support Israel, cops, and the military, so I don’t bother voting for them.

      For real. I don’t know who they think they’re talking about, but every leftist I know still at least looks at all the elections. Probably moreso than any lib. Libs think voting every four years is the pinnacle of political action but I guarantee none of them go to every local election.

      I don’t even believe in electoralism but I usually go if there’s something worth voting on or against.
