    True, but that doesn’t mean we should roll over because there is opposition.

    It also doesn’t mean there’s been a lack of trying.

      Sure, but our modern fellow lefties do discourage trying.

      For example in this thread @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social was asking why we no longer have a black panther party all while telling me all the reasons why they are not interested in showing up to vote.

      Engaging in elections is still one way we can engage in the public space and start to make some changes in a favorable direction. We can’t keep wondering why electoralism is not in our favor if we are also not even trying.

      Like i said in the other side of the thread; if you can get your supporters to show up and vote you have credibility to mobilize for other things.
