Every election always seems to be framed as "the most important of our lifetime". There will never be a perfect time to change our habits and actually do something different.
So if we don't attempt to change now, then when? How long do we continue to let perfect be the enemy of good?
Cool, so what is the plan?
I see so many comments leading up to every election talking about needing to flip the system, make big changes, and upset the status quo. What do we actually see? You all do absolutely nothing, then crawl back into your holes after world democracy slides deeper into hell.
Some of us are out there protesting, and organising, and trying to fix what we can in our community. But we also recognise that we need to work and vote within the system we are trapped in until we can dismantle it.
This:
—Karl Marx "Address of the Central Committee to the Communist League." London, England. March 1850.
Vote within the system, sure. But make sure you voting for those who represent you, not the lesser evil who keeps you trapped in the system.
Psyop gonna op.
hmm
Nevermind that even, his solution is literally just protest vote and let the republicans take over. It's literally surrender with no fight back whatsoever, just smugness at maintaining their principles or some horseshit.
Surprise surprise you immediately go to outdated classroom rhetoric that completely disregards any context of realpolitik. Your solution is outdated classroom theory that has no practical application. Congratulations, you're a republican, because your solution is literally just let republicans win but be smug about your integrity while me and mine get bussed to camps. Fuck you dude.
People claiming to be communists are actually just contrarians. In a true communist system they would be hard-core libertarians.
This is a super long and irrelevant way of admitting you’re entitled to let others chose the fate of those that desperately need you to step up for them.
When the opposition is not an actual lunatic. There has not been a more damaging president in any way, we can't even know the death count of the gutting of research and USAID, and those impacts will be felt for decades. He showed Iran that they have control over most of the world's economy, and now we're strengthening one of our biggest adversaries in Russia. We've ruined relations with EVERY country. Not to say anyone would have predicted it would be THIS bad, but the warning signs were there in what he was promising to do. Protest vote Romney vs Obama, that would suck but at least not destroy the entire world like Trump.
