Pointing out that we're gonna need political action beyond electoralism, specially when there are fascist movements already well underway and authoritarian leaders around the world who are in no way committed to respecting election results is not the same as being against voting
I think that for a lot of people who are not actively having their vote suppressed voting is mostly a pretty low effort form of political action, so that alone makes it worth it in terms of cost benefit analysis, although this year you also have to take health risks from a pandemic into account
Talking about electoralism as being somehow in competition with direct action only makes sense to me when you're talking about draining resources or people's time during the campaign process, when they could be better applied elsewhere, or when electoral politics is used as an excuse to shut down other actions
(Like claiming protests somehow help the political opponent, trying to stop all valid criticism of the least horrible candidate/party, and derailing all talk of other things that could be done)
Like, go vote, just don't act like you can stop fascism with a ballot alone, even if your candidate wins, and then you can go back to brunch, and don't derail when people talk about other forms of action
