The time to vote for someone good is the primaries

"The time to vote against evil is in the bullshit private competition that the party can and does rig, ignore, or not bother with at all."

Yes, which is why voting is not enough: you have to campaign for the candidates you want to see. The ranked-choice system would fix this but that's off-limits for now.

How does "campaigning" for the candidates you want to see make a difference if you're not going to vote for them?

I didn't say voting is pointless. You should go vote too. But if I go vote in the US I'll be arrested.
