Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.

Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Be specifically aware that not everyone here is from the so called USA.

You're conflating democracy with electoralism.

Anarchism requires democracy. But liberal representative democracy isn't the only democratic system. So it can be denounced by anarchists, while they are still in favour of democracy.

Imagine thinking that making abstentionism posts is Praxis.

Propaganda is praxis.

Wow, look at all these hairs you're splitting to justify garbage political tactics.

Are you seriously insinuating that the idea of a liberal representative national democracy (with a police force, judges and parliament) is in line with actual anarchist thought? Because it sure seems like you are by claiming I'm "splitting hairs".
