Voting especially gets nowhere in majority right wing areas - At best, you get one term with a party that isn't as bad, then all the right wingers get together, blame them for problems clearly caused by the right wing party, then vote them out

No, you’re still not getting it - put the political parties aside, they’re a distraction from the real issues. They are intentionally divisive smoke screen to split the working class.

By all means, continue to vote, but stop advocating for political parties - it’s ultimately a waste of time and energy. Start working on building alternative structures to replace existing systems.

Join the IWW, get involved with direct action and mutual aid.
