The book I linked in the beginning, Reform or Revolution, goes over the futility of Reform and the necessity of Revolution.
My point is I don’t think you should be advocating starting revolution till that opinion is close to a majority.
Nobody is advocating for prematurely trying to force a revolution, that is Adventurism and is looked down upon by Communists. Instead, build up dual power along democratic lines, so that when the contradictions within Capitalism and Imperialism weaken the State, there exists a ready-made organization that can integrate with the working masses. Read The State and Revolution for the strategy for Revolution, specifically.
Voting is futile when it comes to enacting positive change, and we do need a revolution to actually enact change, but that doesn’t mean we can will a revolution into existence out of thin-air. Revolution is inevitable in Capitalist systems as Capitalism declines out of its necessary contradictions.
It would be great if you would read some of what I have linked.

It seemed like you were suggesting in your original comment that voting was futile and that we needed a revolution instead.

So do you think people should vote or not?
