as an anarchist ive never understood why some anarchists are so vehemently against voting. like obviously were not going to vote our way into anarchy but most of them seem to think that participating in liberal electoralism somehow gives the incoming government a kind of mystical power over you, but isnt that just believing in the liberal myth of voting as conferring legitimacy on a government? like its just a vote, it doesnt matter beyond what it does. surely you just use it to try to make things less bad (if thats an option) and then go back to doing whatever anarchist stuff you were doing before?
For the record I'm not sure I agree with this--I do sorta believe in a "sacred vote", and part of the appeal to me of anarchism is its focus on moral consistency--but it's a good perspective for sure
