      Why only fight on one front when you could fight on all fronts? You can vote and do other things, you know.

        I have never said that you aren’t allowed to vote, more that voting is far less important than organizing. You are disparaging organizing in favor of voting on the grounds of voting being better, my question is which issue is voting better for?

          I have never, once, at all, ever held that position, nor have I said such a thing. I have always been a proponent of organizing and voting.

          Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth.

            We’ve had this argument before and you haven’t convinced me this is true, especially with more immediate political concerns.

            Can you please explain what these “more immediate political concerns” are that voting is more important for than organizing?

              I think I’d rather have an apology first if I’m going to do you any favors. You just spat out a lie about me and you’re going to brush it off?

                I think it was a fairly reasonable conclusion from your response to this comment:

                That isn’t really what people are saying. It’s more that voting cannot bring about socialism, while revolution can, and that therefore treating voting as the primary political outlet for people hampers the organizing efforts needed for revolution.

                If you can explain your views better, and what you believe socialists believe, then it would be easier for me to know. I’m sorry if I misrepresented your views, but you aren’t doing your views any favors with the endless strawmen.

                    Don’t act so pompous, it’s on you to selectively ignore points being made and misinterpreting the rest. You’re not owed any apologies for acting like an ass.

                    I never lied about your position. I genuinely responded to what I believed your position to be, and invited you to correct me. I will not lie about my own position just to satisfy you.

                    I never once said your claim was “don’t organize, only vote.” I said you claimed voting to be more effective than organizing in the immediate moment. I asked for you to explain this, then you called me a liar.
