Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can't tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that's going to happen 5 years later.
At some point you have to commit to it being "broken" (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We're long past that point with the "lesser evil" party currently committing genocide.
Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital.
Organize. Endorsing a genocidal party won't stop them from committing genocide.
So you're okay with a Trump presidency.
Stop gaslighting people. They said it's time to march and protest and you still accuse them as if they're participating in the system. We want both of them out. This is how movements for change start.
Reality check: one of them is going to be elected president in November. Your wants will not change that.
Not with that attitude it won't.
Sure. Or with any attitude.
I won’t accept that, and will march and protest loudly to try to stop it.
What are you gonna do, sick the cops on me to protect the establishment bastards?
Continue to shame you for ignoring reality and advocating for Worse to spite Bad.
Classic lib take - attack the voters, because the current admin’s terrible policies are clearly their fault.
Repugs and Dems aren’t the only candidates on the ballot, and thankfully I can vote for someone who has policy positions much more aligned with my interests. Perhaps you can too, think about it. Or vote for more genocide, it’s your choice.
They are the only candidates that will win under FPTP
Yup, you can virtue signal all you like. That's freedom, baby!
Nah, I'll stick to advocating against genocide++
I've seen a lot of your comments around, preaching the truth about FPTP, and they are often downvoted into the negatives. But you persist.
I just want to commend you and say that you have more patience than I do. Keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks!
Yup, this commerad (the one you're responding to) is 100% okay with fascism it seems.
Better to allow the group that locks up protestors, doesn't convict anti fascist murderers, kills minorities, and actively surpresses the ability to vote, than vote for "the lesser of 2 evils". I'm not saying they're Russian, or Republican, but they're saying the same things as those groups.
