Is just voting enough on its own, no, but giving up and not voting or voting for worse candidates can make us go from bad to terrible. Every fraction of a degree of warming matters here

yes, absolutely, but when both of the choices you're presented with are equally disastrous for the environment, there's nothing you can realistically do by just voting. The superstructure that stands in the way of real, actual change needs to be destroyed.
