defeatism. noun. de·feat·ism di-ˈfēt-ˌiz-əm. : an attitude of expecting defeat or of accepting defeat with the belief that further effort would be useless.
Voting is the bare minimum of civic engagement in America. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the flaws in the system, but one should be advocating and working towards a solution while doing so. Just letting the mask off fascists win isnt going to solve any of America’s probpems. Thanks for calling out defeatism for what it is!
Where did I say that I’m accepting defeat or that I believe further effort would be useless? In the time it took you to look up that definition and paste it to make your condescending post (as if I don’t know what defeatism is), you could’ve just read and understood my two-sentence post.
Defeatism is also anti-democracy, though.
It’s not defeatism to point out the reality. If you ignore the reality then you cannot solve the problems.
It kinda is.

You’re not solving any problems though
The first step in solving a problem is identifying it. If we ignore it then we’ll never solve it.
