  If you vote with the hope that it will fixes problem by itself, you won’t get very far. Voting is sort of the end of a political process, the other end starting in people building political movements. For your vote to mean something, you have to be voting with a political project. So, focus on the political projects: start building the structures that protect people first, without relying on the government’s approval. Support your communities of care and build your mutual aid networks. Don’t wait for it to be delivered from on high, get with people who also care about the things you care about and start using what you have to build what you can.

  This seems to be conflating 0.333…3 with 0.333… One is infinitesimally close to 1/3, the other is a decimal representation of 1/3. Indeed, if 1-0.999… resulted in anything other than 0, that would necessarily be a number with more significant digits than 0.999… which would mean that the … failed to be an infinite repetition.
