erin quoted Why Anarchists Don't Vote by Andrew Zonneveld
It's never clear how less harm is actually calculated. Do we compare how many millions of undocumented Indigenous Peoples have been deported? Do we add up what political party conducted more drone strikes? Or who had the highest military budget? Do we factor in pipelines, mines, dams, sacred sites desecration? Do we balance incarceration rates? Do we compare sexual violence statistics? Is it the massive budgets of politicians who spend hundreds of millions of dollars competing for votes?

I found this quote used in the introduction quite salient. It was taken from Voting is Not Harm Reduction – An Indigenous Perspective
