“It’s embarrassing that some problematic far-right figures are speaking out more forcefully against direct military action than the so-called leaders of the opposition,” said the executive director of Our Revolution.

Yawn. Organize your workplace and neighborhood. Half-assed. So tired. Your rhetoric didn’t work before and it’s not going to work now.
The US is fucked and anyone who allowed Trump to win via not voting against him deserves what his policies do to them.
Okay the US is fucked and at this point there aren’t going to be free and fair elections. What do you propose people do about it? Stay in lockstep with the ineffectual DNC?
I suggest that people don’t use an election as a way of protesting. I think that if people want to change things they need to protest it more often than every four years. In between those years is their chance to have actual change for the better. Unfortunately, people usually forget about politics unless it’s an election year.
To put it a different way, it is important to cast your vote so that you can help shape politics within the country to the best of your ability with the hope that if it cannot get better at the moment at least it can’t get worse. After the election, then focus on pressuring politicians to make systemic changes.
The idea of refusing to vote is just absolutely absurd to me. The math is so easy to work out.
I think this perspective is too short-sighted, and the idea that going against the party a whole 25% of the time is more than a little ridiculous, but also that’s not the point. I asked a question about the future, not about the past.
There is no point now. Elections from here out can’t be trusted. The county’s data has been sacked by the doge. The greater of two evil’s won and they aren’t going to let it go now.
So… unless you’re specifically saying we should [rule violation] specific government officials, then I’m struggling to see how we can get out of this as a country. I’ve already started the emigration process.
