it doesn’t change anything about those things, but it can change some other things. the only two viewpoints I can see from which voting is bad is either if you’re an accelerationist (in which case you should probably just vote for the side which you think is worse) or if you think that voting “legitimizes the system” and makes it stronger, somehow. though I’m not a fan of accelerationism and I don’t think that “the system” would care if all left leaning people just stopped voting. I definitely don’t think it would make anything better
The time and energy spent on voting and campaigning would be better spent planting gardens and building community yes. Then , AFTER you have a strong community, you can making voting easy in you area and coordinate yourselves as a larger voting bloc.
Once a critical mass of communities is organized enough to change an election, both right wings will pull the accelerationism lever as a hail mary. All the while blaming the communities organized enough to attempt protecting themselves.
At no point will the ruling class allow an election to change things.

Let’s turn this around. There are two viewpoints from where voting is seen as good.
1: deccelerationists, they think their vote makes it less bad. Fools.
2: those who want to legitimize the system. Genocidal monsters.
