    You don’t have a say in the dictatorship of capital and white supremacy so it doesn’t matter what you do. If it makes you feel better then do it but it doesn’t accomplish anything.

        No, they absolutely want you to think voting is the only way to achieve change, despite organizing being a far more consistent and effective lever to pull than voting. They want you constrained within the boundaries of electoralism because they set up the system so the house always wins, regardless of party.

          You can do both, you know? Vote for the party that doesn’t want to drive the country off the next cliff, and demand that they do better.

            “Demanding that they do better” isn’t what I’m talking about. The system is designed precisely to not damage the profits of Capital. Asking the Dems as nicely as possible will not make things better. This strategy does not work. In order for government to listen to the working class, it needs to be owned by the working class, not Capitalists. Everything else would be table scraps.

            Further, the Dems can’t prevent the country from driving off a cliff, the US Empire has been in decline as more countries have gone against its plunder. There’s less plunder now, so the working class feels the squeeze the most. We need to organize and sieze control.

        No, they definitely want us to think that it matters despite all evidence to the contrary[1][2][3][4], because they don’t want us rolling out the guillotines.

      You’re spouting leftist rhetoric as if you’re actually on the side of the working class, yet have no problem snubbing the actual work and resorting to billionaires’ pet AIs. Be consistent, you poseur. If you actually cared about the working class you wouldn’t be rubbing artists out of the picture by using genAI, and you’d certainly be against the potential for AI to erase millions of jobs and devastate the environment with energy demands.
