It is literally the main tool by which further democratic rights have been obtained in those western democracies, contrary to your giveaway scare quotes.
Be it by referenda, passage of law, or by constitutional amendment, every single advancement has been made through the organization of the proletariat as a voting block.
Stop being a fucking class traitor because you don’t want to admit that sitting on your ass doesn’t send any kind of message other than that you have done nothing for the working class.
Voting hasn’t made any significant advantage that isn’t better explained by street organization and the threat of force. It’s you who are being a class traitor by denying the gains made by labour organizing and riots and counter organizations that forced concessions in order to subordinate the proletariat to the electoral system.
Why are you downplaying voting? Yes, organizing strikes and many years ago larger movements created opportunities to pass monumental bills. Yet, there have been SO many laws and discussions since then that did not involve some form of violence or shutdown of some port. By voting together we can enact change. We create it through one voice. Even if our desires are different in the moment, we all want a better life. Why not take every advantage we can to make one?
I’m sorry what enabled those riots and strikes to be received with anything beyond being shot at and ignored?
Rebellion only succeeds in two circumstances, near unanimous popular support or organization across all sectors, or an already sympathetic power in office to hear the demands, and in a democracy, that is achieved by VOTING YOU MORON!!!
Go organize a strike against the inhumane conditions in Chinese factories, see how well that works.
The vote in a “western democracy” isn’t the “tool if the proletariat” that us a crazy take.
