    Note that it is never enough to just vote.

    Defeating authoritarians in these cases requires nation-wide organizing & building a very wide coalition that does include parts of the conservative spectrum.

      might be true. but voting is the bare minimum anyone should do and anyone can do.

      The message should never be: “Don’t vote because there are more important actions to take”

      It should be: “Go Vote! AND go take other actions! [1]”

      ~[1] Bonus points if you actually tell what YOU are doing that is so much better than voting.~

      … requires nation-wide organizing & building a very wide coalition that does include parts of the conservative spectrum.

      Are you @Fusselwurm participating in that kind of organizing to defeat authoritarians? If yes: Nice! Tell people how they can participate. If no: I hope you at least vote.
