Just so you know I am the one @[email protected] was having that elections debate on. Unfortunately they are just very privileged and can afford to just wait until a perfect candidate shows up. I don’t think they are wrong when they see something gross in the DNC and not want to be a part of it, but [class] war is by its nature very dirty. I have to say I am lucky to be white and not hunted down by ICE. I am lucky to not be cold and hungry because the IDF is placing my city under siege. Still I would vote for AOC because slowing down the funding for those things does help the most vulnerable. Ideally we are all on the same page: to just end this. Until we actually build a movement that materially produces policy and cultural change at every level of society we have to do settle for living to fight another day. I am afraid that Tanktal just isn’t serious about the material conditions of those affected by neglecting elections.
Wow. You’re such an asshole. PhilipTheBucket is more then capable of checking my profile and seeing what I have been up too.
Can’t handle the smoke in the other thread so your going through my history to warn others from talking to me?
You’re the idiot that thinks electoralism is the be all end all and refuses to admit that its not the most important front or not a very important one. This is not just my opinion but is the opinion of most anarchist and marxists.
This is such pathetic loser behavior. I thought you were better than this but guess not.

Because you are very polite. Notice I never said anything negative of your leftist positions. We are on the same side. I am just asking you to beware that this is important and that your actions on that front have material consequences for many of us. You basically are like the shit libs from the rachet effect meme that keep progress from happening. If you don’t vote you are stopping it from happening.
Its funny thats what you chose to screencap because I am clearly being sarcastic.
As far as the rachet effect I see you as the reason the democrats won’t veer left since your ilk will always vote them in regardless of their position.
I will not vote between 99% hitler and 95% hitler. I am going to vote for “Not Hitler” and then encourage everyone to do the same and to not waste time trying to change a party that would offer “95% hitler” instead of a “Not Hitler”

Again, you are privileged that you can ignore politics. And you are right that its gross and messy, but that is the reality of [class] war. Get used to it soldier.
It’s not a privilege to know that no matter how I vote that It ultimately isn’t going to affect anything and that things have to be done locally through local organizations to help your community.
It is waste of any time on electoralism other than “go vote”
Sorry you can’t spare an evening every year comrade. And it is privileged that you can ignore politics that way. A privileged very few of us is afforded.
Have you not seen that I have conceded the point that people should at least go vote?
Is that not what you want? Or do you want people to vote a very specific way and then if you do how much energy should people spend trying to accomplish that? And finally how would this attempt to be any different from any of the other attempts that we’ve done the last 20 plus years that were not effective
Have you not seen that I have conceded the point that people should at least go vote?
And yet you keep commenting to discourage people to do so. Would you call me out if I said no to show up to a meeting on organizing a garden because its not going to feed everyone? You would (and should)

It’s not privilege it’s realism.
