Nope, that's what the psyop wants you to think so you stay on the sidelines.
True there are no parties, and true that "candidates" are first selected by elites before they can be elected.
But,
Elites are not a monolith. Each party has its mutineers. There are competing interests as with all things. Some are more aligned with you than others. Some are openly hostile to you, others may see you as useful in various ways. Both are susceptible to pressure.
Not voting is choosing not to apply pressure, lying motionless as you are consumed by predators that don't care if you have opted out of being eaten.
Non-participation is a larp, you're in this with the rest of us buttercup.
doesn't attend mass because they are virtue signaling.
Bad example because atheists are the most cringe virtue signalers of all. Everyone believes in something, when you decide you don't believe in you are inherently replacing it with something else.
There is no vacuum, so you better face reality, sharpen your elbows and take up some fucking space.
Voting is just one form of action. If you believe it is significant, more power to you. If all you do is vote and you think that is making some sort of difference I don't know what to tell you.

It's a proxy for participation.
I agree that it is inadequate by itself, but that doesn't mean that doing of nothing is a serious position.
Bitcoiners are uniquely qualified to go cause a scene particularly in local settings and shake up the clown world. The people running your town/county/state are losers and dumb as shit, so go get in their face and make them uncomfortable.

LOL, not voting does not equal doing nothing. You are generalizing. Doing nothing is doing nothing.
Do what you believe regardless of cultural pressure. Build wealth. Build community. Build resilience. Vote with your time, talent, and treasure. Real power is not in checking a box. Its not a huge sacrifice to vote so if you think it makes a difference by all means join everyone else and vote for one of the two candidates that you disagree with.
Bitcoin is hope not democracy.
Now if you want to try to convince me to vote in a local election I might be more inclined. Local politics can make an impact. But I would say get involved in making your community better first.

Exactly, so vote and force them to cheat. Then catch them cheating.

I spend a lot of time refusing myself, reading books, learning about history, learning about money and economics. I also build things with my hands and work on the water. I work with a lot of different people. The real human action is outside of politics.
I even served in the Virginia Army National Guard for 5 years. I'm not ignorant of how the government works. I'm not that far from DC. I guess so I have to say it's that what I know reaches to the top and they are so corrupt that playing their game only extends the pain.
If you look at Washington DC from the Lincoln Moment on a map to the East you will see that is an occult playground.
Congress has fascii flanking the chair of the speaker. Lincoln at his memorial is resting on the fascii. None of this is accidental. The Washington monument is the eye of Horis on the pyramid. If you claim to know the issues then why not understand the machinations?
Participating in the clown 🤡🌎 is delusional for me. For someone else it might be fulfilling.
I like meeting and working with other people, doing business and making their lives better. Having humans who are corrupt control the other humans is stupid.
Here's a nice video that explains the truth.

It isn't about cheating. The game is the illusion. To keep us focused on these clowns. Make them irrelevant to your life. A politician only seeks to make themself needed so they will always be "fixing" crap that doesn't need fixing. The whole structure is set up with bad incentives.

It's not a game, it's war.
This is the battlefield we've found ourselves on.
You're being shot at even if you don't like it.
reply
So voting for the gunman makes it better?
The Buddha had a great teaching regarding the man who intellectualized his own fate. The man was shot by an arrow. The healing doctor wanted to take the arrow out. The man who was shot insisted on knowing who shot him! What was the man's cast? Was it even a man? All kinds of nonsense questions. Then the man who was shot died. None the wiser.
reply
It was obvious by your OP that you're the kind of person ready to just lay down and die. No need to reiterate.
Wow, they've done a number on you. I'm aware I'm being shot at. Building a citadel. I don't allow the enemy to set the terms. I set my own terms thank you.
reply
Citadels are a fun larp for the I am very smart crowd.
I too take preparedness seriously; it will be helpful through the coming manufactured crisis leading up to the next fake election.
But the hubris of such dismissiveness will be a painful undoing in time.
You are making a huge assumption. You assume there is someone I want to vote for. There isn't. Also, I do not believe in democracy as a valid form of government. I do not wish to further give validity to this system by participating in it. That's why I used the Mass analogy. I do not believe in the god of democracy. I get all that you are saying. You sound like a younger version of me :)
I was hard core into politics and making a difference for years. I watched both parties say they would change things... and things stay the same. At least the things I care about. At some point I realized its all a distraction from what really matters. Your own life and building something better. We won't change this system. It has to be replaced. Bitcoin is a huge part of that.
reply

It's not an either or. People really around self-made candidates.
If there's no one electable options on your ballot, that's your fault for not putting one on it.
reply
The myth of authority is the most dangerous superstition. I am simply opting out of the system and fuck'em'all.
reply
That's not in opposition with my stance.
I want to make it as hard for them as I can.
reply
so why do you support voting any of their same side ? by voting them, you are making their game.
reply
No, psyop'ing people into not voting is their game.
If anything they'll try to cancel 2024 with martial law and power outages.
reply
I think that the language you are using and the straw man arguments are from some trauma you may have experienced as a prisoner. I hope I'm wrong. If that is not the case then the psy-op is goading participation in the death cult jubilee. It's ok to admit you are wrong. That's the whole point of this post is that I'm admitting I was wrong and I feel better getting that out in the open.
You are showing fear that someone is leaving your church and you want him to stay so that we can drink the cool-aid together. The fact is that government literally is Mind Control. That's what the word means. Voting is the act of acknowledging that the Fiat Church is in communion.
It's a lie. Even the word money (Mon-eye -The one, all seeing eye is a talisman of faith in Fiat (declaration by some douche-bag). It's fake.
I'm not saying that there is no monopoly of violence. There most certainly is but I'm not playing their game of go along, get killed, kill and/or pay for some human sacrifices. Voting is voting for which humans the uniformed assholes will be able to sacrifice to the one-eyed god.
No one has harmed more humans than those who ware the uniform, paperwork and rites of government.

LOL. You are giving them to much credit.
So what about all the get out the vote campaigns? What about all the social pressure to vote. What about being taught how important voting is in every state run institution. If their psyop is getting people to NOT vote they have some odd methods.
So lets say you get all of us to vote... who are we voting for and why? Do you want us to vote for Trump, Biden, or someone else. What if they don't win? Then what? I can't believe you are still arguing about this. You are trying to convince people that believe the state is evil that we should lend our support to it by following its religious practices.
Have you ever heard of dropping out? Here's another way to think about it. Its not why I don't vote but its some people's mentality. Withhold your vote until someone is worthy of it. Many people hadn't voted in years that supported Trump for example. Maybe if enough people stopped voting it would draw in different candidates? I mean, I realize these criminals do not represent me so this doesn't matter to me, but plenty of people are not in my position.
reply
Fooling people that can't read between the lines and money laundering, duh. Nothing new.
I'm the one that believes the state is evil, you're naive enough to think you can opt out.
If no one on the ballot isn't worth your vote it's your fault for not putting yourself there.
You're just virtue signaling and evading your responsibility.
reply
I'm only responsible for myself. If I thought running for office was worth doing and moral in the first place I'd consider it. Its not. Its a machine. An evil one beyond repair.

You're like the homeowner that won't shoot an intruder because you don't like guns.
Lost.
