        Voting is not political activism. Its actually the least important form of political participation. Yet, America still can’t get 40% of its populace to engage with even that. Try forming a union, creating propaganda, hosting educational seminars on politics and political history, or feeding and housing those who can’t afford to do so themselves (Through a group/org not as an individual obviously). These things are political activism. We complain a lot on the internet because it is very frsutrating to live in a world where the vast majority of people think the most important thing they can do is vote for one loser who hates you or the other loser who doesn’t give a shit about you.
