For the jurisdiction in which you reside, if you are able to vote, do you think it achieves anything?

I don't like these options. You should definetely vote, but voting alone isn't nearly enough to change the world.

Here in Switzerland, people have the opportunity to vote on issues directly, so voting arguably has more of an impact than in other countries. But as I said before, voting alone isn't enough.

It’s bit of a virtue signal theater for plebs but it can also bring forth a change of direction, so even if it feels stupid going to the ballot box engaging in the slave ritual, my advise (in today’s world), after weighing the issue considerably, would be to just swallow the libertarian pride for a moment and get through the few minutes with some deep exhales.

Not voting can show a signal too. If only e.g. 20% of eligible voters vote, the system has less credibility.

But personally I think voting an anti-establishment figure wields more power (problem with these though is that they often get absorbed into the establishment).

The local the better and more important. Municipal elections have higher vibrations than parliament elections.

Libertarian pride lol

More like libertarian delusions and self aggrandizement

Make fun of a libertarian and will they beat you up? of course not, they will slay you with words on parchment paper

The game theory of voting is pretty complex, nuanced, and interesting.

Yes, but worse.
