Against, but I’m more against debating it, especially in anarchist spaces. As of writing this it hasn’t exploded into arguments here, but debates on electoralism have a habit of reactivating liberal tendencies, in particular the notion that the system has a chance of saving you, and the emotional baggage that liberalism drills into our heads about how the current election is the most important thing ever and you’re a monster for not giving the system your time and attention.
100% agree. Great example are the influencer “socialists” (cough cough hasan) who basically spend 90% of their day discussing electoral politics and watching CNN.
