      Votes aren’t going to do shit for imperialism, that’s bipartisan. You also don’t need to Luigi people. Instead, you can organize in real life with a socialist party, and if the conditions for revolution arise, take part in that.

        Luigi is easy to understand. Voting is easy to understand. When people say “organize in real life” what exactly do you mean? Picnics?

          I mean joining an org like PSL, training and studying as an activist and directly participate in organizing outreach, educating others, forming protests, and more.

      Voting doesn’t work when the candidate needs campaign money to get voted for.
      If the candidate needs campaign money to get voted in, then the candidate will automatically be corrupt,
      as no one is going to freely give someone lots of money unless they expect something back from it,
      and if candidates need to be on tv and pay good money for being on tv,
      then the candidates choices are to be corrupt or to be unknown
      and you will need to organize a different system of electing leaders.
