Bad faith actors are out here trying to channel energy into a psuedo-democracy instead of participating in bottom up politics.

If you care about stopping fascism, join a socialist org. Donald Trump isn't some anomaly, he is a result of systemic economic forces that bring imperialist violence back to our shores as global resistance makes our imperial influence overseas wane. Democrats (the people who control the democratic party, not like, voters) do not want to bring an end to the system that creates this phenomenon, they directly profit from it.

You can't base your opposition to fascism by voting for a party that supports the conditions that are creating fascism. I dont care who you vote for, go hog wild, but join a socialist org if you care about stopping fascism in the long term.

Why are the centrists so antagonistic this week ?

If you only care about the duopoly or third parties every 4 years when the Presidential election rolls around, then I regret to inform you but you have fallen for a grift.

If you actually gave a shit about breaking the binary you'd be boots on the ground working to legitimatize third-parties where they're actually viable - local and smaller scale elections.

The mind reels at how many properly decent and intelligent people have had their political career stillborn because all these "superior" asshole non-voters never bothered to cast ballots for School Board and City Council on up the electoral ladder.

But you see... that would require... making an effort. And we can't have that, now can we? God forbid! That would mean... soiling those pure, innocent, silky-smooth hands with actual democracy homework.

They'd always much rather sit their lazy, ignorant asses at home, lovingly yet distractedly fondling their purity, then sniffing their fingers.

I’ve said this so many times before. Only not as succinctly.

These kids think that they can become activists only one year out of every four, and still have a chance to be the change they want to see. Time and time again, it’s been explained to them that this isn’t how shit works- and what do they do?

They delete, ban, and report everthing that tries to show them how this doesn’t work.
