We shouldn't focus on the "should you vote" but rather on the "should you spend energy and time convincing people to vote" and that's a clear NO

Elections are demoralising and confusing, trying to get people to vote is excruciating because nothing about voting in bourgeois regimes is about real politics.

Let liberals do their shit, treat those elections as vacations from real organising if you can't escape electoralism, and if your org is based enough keep doing real solidarity and ideological work!
