That philosophy could also apply to choosing not to vote. You don't like the system? Look away.

Don't like the system? Organize to take it down. That's what I'm actually doing with real praxis. All you have is your alienated and atomized agency of the vote. That's all you have. I have organization. I have theory. I have praxis.

Imagine thinking that making abstentionism posts is Praxis.
Anarchism necessitates democratic processes. Arguing that democracy is incompatible with anarchism requires you to choose to use an overly complex definition, and the resulting rhetoric you need to engage in is hamstrung by the extra reframing steps you have to go through for people to understand your position.
You can engage in direct action and also vote at the same time. Advocating for extensionism is itself a way of engaging in electoralism, and so if engaging in electoralism is bad on principle, then advocating for abstentionism is bad as well.
Good job being useless.
