But I’m ignoring material conditions?

Yes, and in your blind privileged don't see why even harm reduction helps the most vulnerable.

We had a record number of Voters turn out in 2024 and it wasn’t enough.

Remember the graphic? Shows there are people we have not reached for our cause. Electorally or otherwise.

Is entirely inconsequential to get 10 million people to stand on the side of a road for a protest that does not threaten power. This was something that even MLK Jr recognized which is why he was historically unpopular during his time. He did things like shut down the highways, Shut down bus routes, shut down cities. They never used violence they only just stood in the way but it was effective. You’ll notice that the 10 million strong that we just had in the no Kings protest did none of those things and thus nothing changed.

Remember where I said elections are the only front in the class war? Because i didn't. Protests are important. I am saying that we need to convert those into policy and part of how we do that is voting.

The capitalists are not interested in what we want and they’re spending Millions upon millions of dollars to ensure that will never get it and that what we do get will be ineffective compromises that barely count as a solution. It’s why we couldn’t get a minimum wage increase through and it’s why we can’t get something that every other fucking country in the world has.

Which is why they are involved in electoral politics. Because it materially helps them and suppresses our ability to build. Hence why we need to be active on that front too.
