This is defeatism and giving up before you even try.
My state recently started allowing early voting, I voted Saturday. This year a minimum wage raise and an attempted pre-emptive ban of RCV proposition were both on the ballot. That old trope about "if you don't vote you can't complain" is true and we all have to participate and try to make the changes we want.
It's not a defeatist attitude because I still make sure to vote in every election and do what I can to move the needle to the left.
A pessimistic attitude, for certain. But I'm still participating to keep the candle of hope burning. I'm not defeated yet.
