Well even if you believe political parties shouldn’t exist, you should still participate in your democracy. It’s not like the system goes away if you refuse to participate, so you might as well work within it

Ffs vote third party! But don’t brag about being a lazy POS and standing by while fascism takes over!
And what if your political party choice is ‘no parties’? Everyone else can vote 3rd party to appease their choice, except for those who don’t believe in statism?
You’ll be tolerant to fascists, yet hurl disrespect to anarchists?

Not-voting is participating in representative democracy.
You get one day every four years to have a say, and this is a chance to say ‘No.’. That’s just as valid as ‘Yes, but…’.

Sure, but you do still have to actively go and spoil your vote - just staying at home muttering “I showed them” doesn’t count as participating

You out here actively promoting ‘throwing your vote away by voting 3rd party’ but hating people who act on their political values because they what, wasted their vote?. It’s contradictory.
