    Until ‘we’ shows me that they can organize a weinie roast, I’ll stick with the people who are actually on the ballot.

    I guess you missed the part where we were manning barricades and taking tear gas canisters to the face in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022… directly confronting fascism on the streets and taking it to them. Your obtuseness has no external meaning.

    I also notice that you had nothing to say about registering voters as an actual tool.

    If voting changed anything about this system, they’d make it illegal. Voting as a strategy to stop fascism was attempted in 2020. The result was a 4 year hiatus, but with no real ability or intention to take action against fascism. Biden could have had Trump arrested on day fucking one of taking power. He chose not to. Democrats chose to only make a show of any kind of consequences for a literal attempted coup, because to them, it simply wasn’t a priority. Voting as a strategy to change the system doesn’t work when the people you are obligated to vote for as the “opposition party” are not, and will not, and have no interest in changing the system: ie, Democrats.

        Everyone who says this with mixed case sarcasm does so out of bitter disappointment at the remaining differences.

        The parties agree on more shit than they should.

              I guess I made it too confusing.

              I assumed you’d seen pictures of apes and humans.

                Your condescension indicates that you prefer Democrats be to the right of Republicans. On every issue. After all, we kept moving to the right in our quest to return to monke. No matter how far to the right we move, we won’t win against a party that appeals to the right. So we have to be even further to the right than they are.
