    My point is insisting on not voting is still unproductive engagement in electoralism. You can do productive electoralism, but you don’t focus on the actual vote. You can take the pretense of canvassing for candidate to do a mass line and adjust your org’s strategy accordingly. Or use phonebanking to build a roster of sympathetic neighbors. Or you can discuss strategy with new naive political activist. Electoralism can be done correctly but it requires a certain balance of cynicism and optimism which is hard but can be very bountiful.
