      What are you proposing? A revolution?

          How far did you read about the French Revolution before you closed the book? Because it certainly seems like you read the part about overthrowing the rich and then stopped reading about what happened next.

            Let’s be honest: nobody actually reads history. If they did they would know that the citizens of Paris eventually burned the guillotine because it had killed so many people.

          Are you doing the work to make it happen or just waiting for one to come around?

          Besides, voting until (lol) it happens would make a ton of sense.

                How would one “do the work” for creating a revolution? Do you understand what revolutionary leftists actually advocate for?

                  I’m asking you what you are doing to create it, by asking like that it sounds like you’re not doing anything

                    Why do you think anyone can “create” a revolution? That’s my point, you don’t know what revolutionary leftists actually want, so why are you asking such questions?

        No, just to make sure the little bubble on the ballot is really well colored in.

          ~ average leftist who understands the voting mechanism.

          Vote Democrat until “You’re voting 3rd party? Everyone knows D and R are the only viable options” becomes “You’re voting R? Everyone knows D and 3rd party are the only viable options”

          Republicans have been strategically big-tenting for generations, leftist-unity is so embarrassing it’s become a meme.

            This. If the republican party crumbles, Democrats could become the right party, with Progressives as the left. At least then we’d have two parties with ideas and an interest in governing.

              I doubt I’ll live to see a world where leftist policy is truly mainstream, but I think I might live to see a world where the Democrats are the far-right party.

                Orange guy wins and you’ll likely live to see first hand a recreation of how the Nazis turned Germany into a dictatorship…

                Very well may be the last vote you ever make that even matters a little.

        Yes. Voting for the ones the duopoly and their rich owner donors let people vote for clearly isn’t working.
