“Okay, so both parties are bad, but what else can we do other than vote?”

There are going to be a lot of disenfranchised liberals that have lost faith in electoralism. Rather than allow the people to fall into doomerism or denial, what advice would you give people who are realising that western democracies are broken and that voting for the lesser evil is impossible? What action would you tell them to take?

    What action would you tell them to take?

    What is it they need? Where is the state currently failing to support them? Like, what would actually make a difference to people in the community?

    I would suggest identifying that, and then building a community-based solution (if possible/appropriate).

    Teach people how to hold power for themselves rather than begging for scraps from the political establishment.

    Sure it’s easier said than done but that’s my antidote to electoralism.
