so many things are statistically meaningless if only one person does them though, voting, giving blood, giving up flying, going vegan, picking up litter, going on a protest march... They only become useful if enough people do them, so sharing quotes and memes that discourage people from doing them is actively making them less effective.

I'm not arguing that voting is all we should be doing. And yes at the moment it does feel like all we have are bad options, but I still think if you can't get a good option like potentially the Greens a bad option like Labour will do less harm than the Tories, who in turn will do less harm than Reform so it's worth trying to stay as low down the hierarchy of harm as possible. And yes it is important to join a political party to influence their direction, campaign for electoral reform or organise progressive primaries while we're still stuck under FPTP say, but not everyone has time or energy for that whereas voting is easier
