Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.
Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.
The democrats are as bad as the republicans, they just use different methods
Typing :Hindenburg: really ought to do something here
That's the problem. We don't have a liberal party and a conservative party anymore. We have a conservative party and a regressive party
we have von hindenberg and the NSDAP
The democrats were always a conservative party, it's just that the republicans shifted to a mask-off fascist party around 2016.
A liberal party is bad on its face. Better they show exactly what liberalism truly is than mask it better. When the dems where a "liberal" party they did fucking Vietnam
The Democratic Party just represents another faction of the bourgeoisie. They only “support” different social issues to opportunistically appeal to a different voting blocs, but they have little or no intention to truly do anything. The only constituency they serve are just a different group of capitalists. Once you understand this, that all bourgeois politicians don’t represent you at all, US politics and policy decision making becomes crystal clear.
Its less cruel to vote Blue, so you shuld still do it. Its whats called harm reduction.
we really need to organize outside of electoral politics. might as well vote too if it's low effort and there's actually any hope of harm reduction (although it's worth considering that a person that is guaranteed to vote and vote blue is a person the dems feel safe dismissing)
but ultimately electoralism as it currently stands in the US is a mechanism designed to attract and dissipate social energy, like a lightning rod.
Voting as part of an ongoing, multi-faceted strategy of civic and social engagement is fine. Especially because there are times where it directly leads to positive outcomes, like state Constitutional amendments that check legislative power. Voting can instead be a method of organizing, where after the election you keep together and continue to be activists in more direct ways.
Ballot questions are under attack by Republicans in many states because they're the last remaining avenue for many political causes in the states that they've all but made themselves the single party dictators of.
I am in two minds about this:
Dems winning = Biden starting fights with everyone else on the planet (Trump also wanted to but he’s too scared to pull the trigger) = higher chance of everyone dying in a nuclear apocalypse
GOP winning = far worse ghoulish policies against minorities and stripping of civil rights in the country = higher chance of dying from deranged conservative government policy
