    Nah you’re just a dumbass for thinking that voting for either of the genocidal fascists and endorsing the capitalist system keeping them in power “absolves” you of anything (whatever that means).

    Political power in a capitalist state comes from organizing, not from writing the name of some maniac on a piece of paper

      You’re accusing them of thinking voting gives absolution? You’re the ignorant one here, and you deserve to be ground under the boots of fascism.

      Do something about it lmao. I want to hear about you on the news organizing your way to power before the election. Name drop Jaderick in your speeches, I would love to see it and you could prove me wrong.

      In the mean time you’re just trash sitting there doing nothing lol.

      Come November, either Trump or Biden will be elected into office, whether you like it or not.

      If your goal is to organize, one of those outcomes will make that harder to do than the other.

          It’s not going to actually ever get any easier and the longer we wait the harder it will be.

          So you’re concerned about it getting harder, but advocating for actions that increase the likelihood of it getting much harder, much more quickly.

          Make it make sense.

            These accelerationists in this thread are the dumbest people on the left who don’t care about the oppressed sympathetic to their views and are directly in harms’ way if things get worse, because they want to gamble on a violent revolution that will nebulously make things better w/o any plan.

            The stupidity is almost humorous.

              The DNC isn’t in fighting shape and the longer they’re propped up, the worse they’ll do against the GOP every cycle, which only emboldens the GOP to do crazy shit because the opposition party isn’t a threat to them no matter what they do.

              So again, it sounds like your concern is the GOP being emboldened to do crazier shit. So the solution is to hand them the presidency and the freedom to do all the crazy shit they want.

              Make it make sense.

                  Had Trump won in 2020, he’d be about to be term limited out and the blowback from Dobbs, his inflationary monetary policy, and Gaza would have fallen in his lap, putting the GOP in a worse position this cycle than they currently are.

                  Cool fanfic.

                  Now he’s going to come back, bigger and angrier than ever

                  Only if you guys get your way.

                  Kinda wild how the narrative you guys prop up has moved from “both sides are the same” to “actually if Trump had won in 2020 that would have been better”

                  The mask is really coming off.

        Really? Are we watching the same news? The Democrats are pulling the same exact bullshit trump did with protestors.

            You specifically mentioned organizing. So I specifically responded.

                It doesn’t take more than once to show an intolerance. They only let protestors they agree with organize peacefully.

                  And naturally, with non-peaceful protest being the only form of organization, since both potential administrations will treat that issue equally, the logical option is to hand it to the one who will also do plenty more terrible things on top of it.

                    The logical option is a vote of no confidence. But we don’t have that in the US. We have Kings for 4 years so we have to respond to them the way people have historically.
