I feel that.
But just to say it: Because it's still the right thing to do, and if we didn't, it would just be that much worse.
There's no denying the best thing people can do for the planet isn't recycling, etc - it's voting.
We don't have the time to vote every 2-4 years and pray we get a decent candidate that will at least not set us back further. We need to learn and organize.
Oh, I'm not saying voting is the only thing we can do. Not by a long shot. It's just the most impactful.
Of course a lemmy.world can't conceve of a political activity different from voting.
