You completely miss my point about the Democrats and Republicans being part of domestic counterinsurgency. And as for your point about stalling, stalling itself isn't a real political strategy. The problem is that you're elevating what is at best a mediocre political tactic into a political strategy. It's not "you should vote," but "you should vote for this particular referendum because the local community is politically engaged and actually wants this referendum to pass." But as a tactic, there will be plenty of cases where the pursuing this tactic is a complete waste of time and energy. Presidential elections are a complete waste of time for people outside of battleground states. I live in a state, county, and city where the presidential results have been the same since Reagan. Literally everyone here knows which presidential candidate will win in 2024 and 2028 and 2032 and so on, so there's really no point in voting for who gets to be president. The time spend canvasing or donating money or even trying to convince strangers to vote is better off just feeding homeless people.
Ok, this makes sense (sorry for the necro-reply, I've been mostly away from Lemmy), I agree it's a waste to campaign for president in certain states.
