      I’ve always been amused by people who arrogantly throw away their only political power.

      You mean the people who vote a certain way because people tell them to? You mean the people that vote for something just because they are scared that the other side may win?! Then they just moan about things never changing? Yeah, that amuses me too.

      Luckily for me tho, I use my political power. I vote for who I want. And this year, it’s Green Party. And I’m proud!

        You are a forum slider and a concern troll, deliberately promoting 3rd parties to draw progressives away from voting for Harris without actually believing any of the virtues you extol.

        You constantly carry water for repugnicunts despite also constantly claiming you don’t support them.

        Sure you do your best to not use the maga words and to frame everything in a pseudopositive light, but your rancid soul cannot be hidden.

          100 percent false. My posting here and on reddit proves otherwise. You have been reporting for falsely accusing me of being a troll and for breaking the civility rule for this sub.

          You constantly carry water for repugnicunts despite also constantly claiming you don’t support them.

          False.

          Sure you do your best to not use the maga words and to frame everything in a pseudopositive light, but your rancid soul cannot be hidden.

          All of this just because I’m not voting for you candidate? Wow.

          I reported you to the admins.

      I’ve always been amused

      Maybe he doesn’t know anyone who will be directly harmed by the policies of the GOP and has the immense privilege of knowing they personally will be safe no matter who wins the next election.

      I guess good for him…? I just find it incredibly selfish and sad.

        History has proven NO ONE is safe under fascism, even other elite fascists. Not even ‘dear leader’ when he begins to look weak.

        It is more accurate to say he is ignorant of the consequences of a 2nd drumpf term, as are all of his constituents.

          If Democrats are worried about not getting enough votes to win an election, they should get stronger candidates. Welcome to democracy.

          I’m voting for who I want. And I support your right to vote for who I want. Please stop trying to bully me. it’s not working.

          No, I’m worried about the saftey of my friends and family.

          That is more important to me than the luxury of a perfect candidate.

            Then vote for who YOU feel best serves them. As I am going for who I thing best serves them. I’m not voting for your candidate. And many of my friends aren’t either. You should probably just accept that and move on. Really.

                You’re the one who can’t move on, digging up this day old post that wasn’t even directed to you.

                What? The comment I replied to, which WAS directed to me, was made 6 minutes ago. And it was a direct reply to me, so I replied back. Your exact comment to me was: "No, I’m worried about the saftey of my friends and family.

                That is more important to me than the luxury of a perfect candidate."

                And that was made 6 minutes ago. To me.

                So if it wasn’t directed to me, you introduced it to the wrong thread. Who did you mean it to be directed to? I was only replying to you.

                Six. Minutes. Ago.

                    I have moved on. You keep replying. I stand by what I said. If Democrats are worried about not getting enough votes to win an election, then they should get stronger candidates. That doesn’t oppose anything that I have said. I stand by it.

                    I know YOU are not happy about it. So you know what? Feel free to move on. My vote is MY vote. And your vote is YOUR vote.

                    Hey, are you trying to “influence” me?

                    Move on.

                    Wait, is this regarding our argument about you saying I wasn’t the subject of your comment. Because I AM the subject of the comment. And that’s not the comment I replied too. Feel free to take a screen shot of the thread.

                    I was responding to you, not Angry_Autist. Who by the way, is “following” me here on Lemmy “to keep an eye” on me. And who I have reported.

                    And has had several comments to me removed. Feel free to check the modlog to see his removed comments.

          Was making a Mao reference re: abandoning the “only” political power we have

          Every Communist must grasp the truth; “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

            Ok, so I am still now understanding exactly how that pertains to me or my comments? Is that for or against me? I guess I’m not that deep.

              I mean, I’m planning on voting for PSL myself, cause they’re the most vocal/credible as an anti-war option from what’s presented

              I was just being a smartass because there’s more to political organizing than just voting, and the people browbeating others to be obedient to their meta game in the process I find pretty silly

                Oh ok, sorry!! Yeah, I am not super-learned in the socialist platform yet. I was actually gonna vote PSL, but they are not on the ballot in my state. I started a Socialist community here on Lemmy the other day tho, so as I am posting the stuff that I am reading about, I’m learning about it. :)

                And thanks for standing with me against this sea of Blue MAGA that I find myself in right now! lolol

                But do you have an good books or articles or sites that would help me learn more about the theories behind PSL?

                  I mean, personally I’m an anarchist, I run with different crowds but I have run into people from PSL at protests for quite some time- since Iraq- and they’re usually a different vibe. I find a lot of common ground in wanting less external imperial violence and more directing that money to helping people historically oppressed internally. At the end of the day the way I see it, we have a shared endgoal, some potential political disagreements along the way, but at least I can count on principled opposition to genocide.

                  Here’s a link to what their vision for a revolutionary government looks like.

                  Frankly the need for more than ‘just reform’ is also extremely relevant now more than ever with decades of failure to address climate change in a meaningful way- at some point if your goal is meaningful change it’s going to require fundamentally restructuring how the economy operates. Some people will call that ‘authoritarian’ but what’s also ‘authoritarian’ is when a handful of people use their amassed wealth to poison the planet without repercussions, and jeopardize entire future generations, while using the police to suppress dissent. Instead we get ‘nothing will fundamentally change except more hot wars’ from the Democrats, and genocidal ideation from the Republicans.
