By doing so they're allowing fascists to take over. Isn't it in your best interest, as a leftist, to prevent the fascist take over of your country?
And before you say "The country is already run by fascists," over here our immigration dept. is now starting to detain Native Americans. The president is deporting school children. Even other American citizens who aren't white are being detained. That simply was not happening under the previous president.
Fascism is born from economic issues and tention usually created by rich people to move the blame. We have a labour party in place in the UK, Elon Musk has already involved himself in our politics. Reform uk is poling 25% and labour 26%. labour hasn't even been in for half a year.
Fascism is battled in the streets and unions, historically this is what has happened.
Fascism can be seen as the endpoint of capitalism, when a system predicated on infinite growth hits the ceiling. While yes vote in your interest I wouldn't depend on politicians to fix the systemic issue that is capitalism.
Edit for clarification: Reform UK are a nationalist party. Labour were a socialist party for workers, now they are liberals willing to sell whatever isn't strapped down.
None of this changes the fact that by not voting against the fascists, you're doing nothing to prevent them from taking control of the government.
I struggle to see a direction capitalism can go after topping out.
I struggle to see why it's such a hard thing for people to do the absolute minimum required to prevent fascists from taking power. Why is it like pulling teeth to get leftists to be civically engaged?
