That’s like saying no-one could be fighting climate change if they’ve ever thrown away a bottle instead of recycling it.
Voting for someone who takes money from the same corporate donors who fund fascism can have some but only very minimal impact on fascism. I still do it, but i won’t fault people who focus on organising, mutual aid, direct action and other activities that directly fight fascism.
Voting every few years is not demanding perfection as you imply. It is a very simple, somewhat impactful action that in terms of effect per unit of effort almost certainly beats any form of education or organization.
I’m not implying that. I always hold my nose and vote for the least bad option. I’m just under no illusions about the mininal impact of voting in an oligarchic system.
Change comes from organizing: educating, joining with others, activism. Without that, change will never be offered at the ballot.
