Is there a succinct way of articulating why we can't do both? (e.g. vote for the lesser evil while also doing all the mutual aid and whatnot that we can?) Does it boil down to the argument that voting makes people less likely to build said alternative power structures?

I'll watch the video when I have time, but communicating an actionable strategy I think is essential to folks in crisis.

You can, if you want to. Just don't waste your time on electoral politics.

Yes. Organizing is an actionable strategy.
