    I just don’t want the Sunny d orangutan to put me into a fucking concentration camp. If that makes me blue maga, so be it I guess.

    You act like voting is mutually exclusive with all other forms of resistance. Like yeah, obviously voting alone isn’t going to do very much. But just because there’s work to be done outside of the voting booth doesn’t mean we should hand the oval office over to the actual facility on a silver platter.

      Elections serve the function of capturing political energy and diverting it away from addressing any real issues. Has it escaped your notice that all candidates are completely subservient to the ruling class?

      Every year the concentration of wealth grows. Every day, the USA continues to prop up a genocide. Every year true revolutionaries are quietly murdered, then memory-holed.

      I’m personally not saying “don’t vote” - on balance, I think it’s worth exercising that minute degree of autonomy. What I am saying is: “Don’t expect voting to affect real change, when the rolling class has complete control over candidate selection”
