I misread you, then, my sincere apologies. Seeing a lot of defeatism and it frustrates me because that didn't help a single bit in 2016 and only made 2020 worse. I agree on your point about the AFL CIO, which is why I'm fond of PSL, they're very principled domestically, regarding trans rights and on firmly anti-imperialist foreign policy and they're not part of the Washington aligned labor unions. The comrades I look up to the most are engaged in unions and organizing there.

Ok, then stay home or keep voting democrat, but stop pretending you want change without doing anything to bring it about. Individualism and conformism is exactly what got the US here and both parties would be very happy if y'all stayed that way.

Politics is what happens before and after you cast the ballot. The vote itself might as well be a formality.

Only one thing I disagree with, they're not taking minorities for granted, they're holding them for ransom. They deliberately refuse to codify civil liberties and anti corruption measures in case they'd like to use them.

I don't know how to tell you this, but the third who voted democrat are at fault for repeatedly letting dems know they'd vote blue no matter who.

Not everyone wants to vote in Mussolini to avoid getting Hitler.

Just gotta get yourself a foreign sponsor to start sabotaging the US and get the rest of the world to stop selling you food, oil, or consumer goods like the US did to the DDR.

It was getting late for libs to start bringing up socialism to diagnose their fascist oligarchy. The USSR collapsed in the way most socialist states have collapsed: at gunpoint, after decades of siege, sabotage and outright insurrectionism sponsored or directly enacted by the US. It's no accidentt that Vietnam, the DPRK and China have robust security states, you can't survive the US without them.

So this probably means staffers had been loudly voicing their concerns and democrats were sabotaging themselves lmao

there are already sizable third parties in the US, such as PSL, DSA and the Green Party. PSL in particular is always active in unions, protests and community programs, and lately they've shown they trust younger members to be out there and adjusting to the demands of the members.

The ones who voted for Trump voted because they think they're not talking about them. The horrible violence will be visited upon whomever is to blame, and they don't know anyone who's to blame, so they have nothing to fear.

Dems do that shit too, what they're ok with are death squads in Gaza, Nicaragua, Ukraine, because the Americans orchestrating and perpetrating those crimes against humanity would certainly never come back and apply their knowledge at home, where they live, surely. What's more american than that?

This is fucking rich lmao.

You know who I always see busting their ass protesting, striking, aiding their fellow worker? Not fucking democrats, I'll tell you that. It's always third parties who get demonized for not voting for a fascist and then told they get what they deserve when they're out there serving as a shield against the worst of fascist violence. Americans are so politically illiterate it'd be funny if y'all would go down alone and not threaten to burn the rest of us down with you.

Why the fuck do you ask anything if you're gonna fire out the canned phrase regardless of the answer
