My alternative is mass unionization and more Luigi. Gotta hit the capitalists where it hurts.
They only understand wealth and their own mortality.
Were not on the same side. Your plan is “democrats are all we got guess we’ll have to work with them.” The democrats are no longer worth working with.
Guess what Kamala Harris recently accomplished? She missed the tie breaking vote for the NLRB seat, losing a seat on the board that protects unionization efforts two years early. don’t fucking tell me that democrats are just a fucking muzzle.
What do you think I’m doing in my real life? Do you think I don’t have leftist infused conversations with all my trump voting coworkers? A whole lot of them are of the Bernie to trump pipeline (vermont). They are not the media caricature of trump voters. They would easily vote leftist if it was marketed right. The democrats are not leftist and their policies along with Republican policies actively hurt American workers. Most people are one $1000 emergency away from homelessness. Get fucking real.
You’re coming off as a democrat apologist to me in every single comment. I’m not a fool.
Agreed. How long do you think that will take though, and are we supposed to just keep letting fascists entrench themselves in the meantime? That's the point of voting lesser evil, to slow down fascism so it's easier to defeat when proper praxis is mature enough to actually defeat it. We're not voting for representation, we're voting for weaker enemies.
False. My plan is "Democrats are the lesser evil, let's make sure they keep winning until we have something to replace them with. I'd rather flight a neo-lib than a full-bore fascist"
