    voting is not activism but spending the effort and making the connections to align disparate people and organizations under a single banner of a coherent political platform that is very far to the left of the current regime is a worthwhile endeavor whose results will be felt long after this election, regardless of its outcome

      I would agree that 99% of voting isn’t activism but when voting just once can literally freeze rent for millions of proletarians, it is (a very minor form of) activism. Looks good to attach the socialist label to something like that
