I guess, to further the analogy - there’s likely a bus that will get you close to your destination, but you’ve got to walk the rest of the way (or vice versa), call that political activism.
and if there is a bus available to you and you don’t take it, you’re just a person yelling at buses, which helps no one (except maybe your mental health?).
Or alternatively you can use an ebike which is 3 times faster, or a regular bike which is 2 times faster if you have one, at least where I live. I don’t think comparing voting in the US to public transit which is also dysfunctional here is the flex you think it is.
Funny analogy because I’ve had instances where the public transit was so bad it was faster to walk the ~3-4 miles then use it

It isn’t the flex they think it is but I think it fits just fine.
When the system doesn’t work for your intentions, you get up and use an alternative that directly enables you towards your desired ends.
The system of electoralism being compared to the dysfunction of the US public transit system is a perfect analogy from the anarchist perspective.
