    Meanwhile, the actual results of ceding the government to fascists is… increasingly right-wing leanings in the general population

    Waoh but no, if we can just SHOW those damn SHITLIBS that they’ll never win, the inner socialist heart of The People will perk up and we’ll lead the masses singing the Internationale straight to DC. That’s how Popular Support works!

    Fuck all that loser groundwork shit, that’s boring and doesn’t make us feel very revolutionary, while STICKING IT to THE MAN makes us feel fantastic as millions of disadvantaged folk are marked for death.

    Voting may not fix the country, but not voting can sure as fuck make it worse.

      Meanwhile, I’m here saying “both”.

      Do both.

      Actually go help your neighbor in person. Directly. Personally. Help your fucking neighbor.

      If you want Lefties excited to go vote, give us something to vote for instead of against where the Centrist Libs concede to the Fash every god damn time.

      What are your thoughts on Zohran Mamdani? Give me candidates like that, and I’ll bring 20 non-voters to the polls, and each will cast a ballot.

      Give me another Clinton, another Cuomo, another Biden? Sorry, when I vote, I vote alone - and this isn’t up to me.

      Which way, Western Man? Grow the voter base, grow the party? or grow the campaign warchest from donors that want both sides indebted to their lobbyists?

      How we vote in the Primary is how we can get money out of politics.

      In the meantime, have you made a sandwich to give away to a stranger? Have you handed a history book to a stranger? Have you had conversations about WHY Fascism doesn’t address our neighbors’ needs?

      Your lack of groundwork is disturbing. For as much as you care, you come off like a filthy Casual this way. Let’s fix that?

        God, I just want to crush the neoliberals, to hear the lamentations of their political commentators, to see their empty suits driven before me, on ONE fucking primary before I die.

      What is groundwork? I haven’t heard this term before. Is it things like protesting and voting? Propagnda? Having conversations with everyday people? Or are those something else?

        Getting ready, essentially; ‘groundwork’ as in ‘preparing the ground for a building’. Propaganda, conversations, organization, convincing people, the basic, preliminary steps to action.

            By actively sabotage it at every opportunity, we se it in New York right now. These people have just given up, believing themself clever for accepting a slightly slower decline and resent everyone else.
