Says the person who never has done evil ever. /s
My friend, I don't know how you are still alive. The only action these days that doesn't involve some kind of negative consequence is breathing air.
For the rest of us who actually do stuff, so you can whine at us from your computer, we make compromises all the time. That is life.
I'm an anarchist with years of on the ground organizing experience. I have friends in prison. I've had friends killed by the police. Shut the fuck up you liberal piece of shit.
All that hard work and compromise and yet, you can't bring yourself to get your hands a little dirty by voting for the lesser evil. You are accelerating the rate at witch your friends die by police. For what reason?
Whether or not someone takes 15 minutes out of their life to vote every 2 years is quite literally the least important facet of their political activity. It effects exactly nothing. All your supposed concern over fascism, and you can't bring yourself to get your hands a little dirty by torching an ICE van or stealing some clothes and giving them to homeless people. For what reason?
People should do both. I'm glad you are fighting back - remember that the government you fight against is shaped by the people voted for.
I've also been in prison, and I share your frustration with people who pull the wool over their eyes and play "House" in this hellscape. But taking "15 minutes out of their life" to ensure the figurehead at least pretends to care about the will of the people is Absolutely relevant, even when we are in a war. Biden was shit, and Kamala wouldn't fix this, but Trump has a secret police force and has been playing with the idea of martial law. That's going to have an impact on the "torching an ICE van" crowd.
Political change will require breaking the law, but if you're not willing to push on the legal front of political change, you're just a terrorist (if not a saboteur).
You can both vote and organize. Why vote? The more fascist the government is the harder it is to organize. For only 15 minutes every 2 years, it's actually a pretty powerful tool. It may not move things left but it slows down the fascism.
