Don’t flatter yourself/them, inaction is infinitely easier than action. I don’t think the “don’t vote” crowd is good at suppression, I think they’re just dumb and lazy.
Go ahead and withhold your vote, I’m sure that will work out great. Everyone knows the Overton window shifts towards the people who don’t vote or participate in elections. The Republicans have shifted further and further right because the neo-nazis and alt-right fuckwads and gamer-gate idiots all banded together and simply didn’t vote.
I understand their motivations, but their methods demonstrably and historically do not work, and actively harm the causes they care about. So again, go for it, I’m sure it will work out great. The other side has made progress by doing the exact opposite, and feminists famously campaigned to be able to vote just for some disenfranchised young people to realize the true path to change is…nothing.
You can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into. Pointing out that the literally opposite strategy by the GOP got us here and that it is not grounded in reality is not some “smarmy” attitude lol
