There are plans 👍

Are the Russian Trolls in the room with us?

Yes, just as Muslim activist groups and Palestinians have been suggesting, I will be voting for PSL.

You’re also ignoring the bit where I said revolution is necessary.

Gotcha so you’re abstaining this election. That’s fine and your choice not to vote, but it also means you don’t get to complain if Trump wins (or Harris for that matter).

I absolutely get to complain if either of those genocidal monsters win, I will be voting but not for either of them.

As long as we have first past the post, we will never have a 3rd party candidate win.

With liberals like you? Sadly, you might be right.

If you honestly believe Harris would do as much damage to this country as Trump would

And the entire Global South that the US razes for profits, the US is the world’s largest Empire.

you’re either one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met and there’s nothing more to say, or you just woke up from a coma that started in 2016 and haven’t caught up on anything that happened since then.

Neither, I’m fully aware of what awful monsters both Harris and Trump are.

Fantastic elaboration, comrade, that’s exactly what I am saying.

More genocidal maniacs joining the Dems? Must be reformed! 😍

The Mode of Production determines what ideas and traits are more expressed among society. The Base determines the Superstructure, which in turn reinforces the Base.

Follow the funding, minor pocket lint from the US State Department is cheap compared to what needs to be done.

The flag in the screenshot is of the USSR, ie the Communists, not the Russian Federation. You do know that, right?

Don’t know how it’s not obvious that they won’t gut the EPA. The Biden administration added a ton of funding to the EPA for climate action. It’s a priority for them.

Follow the money. The Dems have failed miserably at any legitimate climate movement.

Come on man, if you can’t tell the difference between judges appointed under Democrats vs those under Republicans, I don’t know how to show you. Looking at the supreme court voting record is a pretty clear sign there. John Oliver just did a piece on this last night that is worth checking out.

I’m aware that Republicans and Democrats are right-wing.

There are already bills that are getting support from lots of Democrats in the House and Senate to provide similar protections that Chevron deference gave. I say “might” because of course this is only going to happen with strong Democrat control of both the House and the Senate.

Of course, it’s Election time, after all. Do you really think any measures introduced by Dems are in any way adequate?

Similar to Chevron deference, bills have been brought forward that have broad support among Democrats for trans healthcare and abortion access.

Where are they?

Democrats, like you said, are not saviors. They at-best react to Republicans and Republican-appointed judges doing evil shit when they are in power, or providing “solutions” that barely scratch the surface of the work/funding needed. Democrats have not had the political power to push these bills through since the Republicans did the evil shit they are reacting to. It’s pretty disingenuous to blame them for these bills not passing in the system we have.

I blame them for being the other half of the uniparty of the genocidal US Empire. The Dems have plenty of political power, their game is to act like saviors that just need your votes to save you this time, every time, as the US Empire sundowns.

Basically. The worst is when the libs think they are leftists for supporting the genocidal US empire.

Our voting system is first past the post which means there are only two political parties, Republican or Democrat.

Wrong.

If you happen to like the Republican or Democrat congratulations you get to actually vote for someone.

You’d also be a genocidal demon.

For the rest of us our only option is voting against someone.

Yep, hence why it’s important to vote for Greens or PSL.

If you hate the Republican more vote Democrat. If you hate the Democrat more vote Republican.

Neither are acceptable for Humanity.

If you don’t actually care whether the Democrat or Republican wins you can abstain by either staying home or voting 3rd party, the outcome is identical either way.

Liberals will work themselves into logical fallacies in order to justify their own votes for genocidal regimes.

If you don’t like this there is exactly one solution and that’s supporting efforts to get rid of first past the post voting, anything else is useless.

I agree, we need a revolution. Electoralism is useless.

I’ll take the wet bandaid over the guy reloading to finish the job thank you very much.

And you’ll be dead in the same amount of time.

Sure, they’re not some savior, but they won’t gut the EPA

Why not?

they won’t continue to fill the courts with extremely right-wing judges which will take decades to overcome

Already do

they might be able to replace Chevron deference with legislation

Why?

and they might be able to put some protections into place for abortion access and healthcare for trans people

They haven’t, though.

The Dems are not good people in a hard place, they’re servants of Capital, same as the GOP.

And the Dems will not save us. They will not do what is necessary, ever, because they are funded by similar to even the same groups.

If the Dems will not and cannot save us, if we have a gaping bullet wound and all they can offer is a wet band-aid, then we must find another solution.

Leftist agitprop is a good thing.

For the election? PSL or Greens.

To fix the mess the US is? Armed revolution.

Organize, join a political party relevant to your area.

If you’re referring to Nordic Social Democracies, they fund their safety nets via Imperialism, they can’t exist without impoverishing and exploiting the Global South. It’s the epitome of the Labor Aristocracy.

If you don’t vote for the centrist candidate, you can’t object to the right extremist.

You absolutely can. Voting is not the extent of political action.

Actually this does track that a lot of what I see online is people who seem unwilling to compromise: neither are what I want so both the same. You need to be willing to vote for the one closest to what you want, and work toward moving that leftward over time.

You can’t move right-wingers left through thoughts and prayers, this is astrology.

We had a huge success with “The Squad” getting enough attention before Biden’s first nomination to influence the party platform. As a minority voter, this path is more likely to succeed than not voting

And yet they accomplish nothing and are kept like barking dogs on leashes. The electoral process is a filter, it prevents radical change. See how the monsters treat Rashida Tlaib.

left-wing populism, which argues for reigning in the excesses of capitalism

Left wing means ending Capitalism, not just “reigning it in,” which never works long-term.

To be fair, the political compass is astrology that makes no actual point.

“Just vote Dems one more election”

“Just one more lane”

Just like more lanes, more dems don’t fix the underlying problem.
