I don’t really care for the use of allegory to make an argument, especially not the strawman you’re making.
Voting isn’t a genuine lever for working class influence, because both options on the lever lead to capitalist control and domination. You have your priorities flipped, organization is what’s important, it’s the primary means by which the working class has historically won concessions and how revolutionaries have managed to establish socialism around the globe.
Voting is the extra. It takes the least amount of effort, and has the least amount of results. I don’t personally care who you vote for or if you vote if you actually show up and organize. If voting makes you happy and feel secure, then go for it, but it won’t fix any of our problems nor will it prevent conditions from worsening, because those are intrinsic to living in late-stage imperialism.
Ideally you vote for PSL, because neither party will help.
