Vote in November.
You think Trump will treat Gaza better?
Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can't tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital one year and then suddenly tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that's going to happen 5 years later.
At some point you have to commit to it being "broken" (actually working as intended of course) and organize based entirely on the fact that it is and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We're long past that point with the "lesser evil" party currently committing genocide.
Successful revolutions in the past have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital.
Organize. Endorsing a genocidal party won't stop them from committing genocide.
So you're okay with a Trump presidency.
Stop gaslighting people. They said it's time to march and protest and you still accuse them as if they're participating in the system. We want both of them out. This is how movements for change start.
Reality check: one of them is going to be elected president in November. Your wants will not change that.
Not with that attitude it won't.
Sure. Or with any attitude.
I won’t accept that, and will march and protest loudly to try to stop it.
What are you gonna do, sick the cops on me to protect the establishment bastards?
Continue to shame you for ignoring reality and advocating for Worse to spite Bad.
Classic lib take - attack the voters, because the current admin’s terrible policies are clearly their fault.
Repugs and Dems aren’t the only candidates on the ballot, and thankfully I can vote for someone who has policy positions much more aligned with my interests. Perhaps you can too, think about it. Or vote for more genocide, it’s your choice.
They are the only candidates that will win under FPTP
Yup, you can virtue signal all you like. That's freedom, baby!
Nah, I'll stick to advocating against genocide++
I've seen a lot of your comments around, preaching the truth about FPTP, and they are often downvoted into the negatives. But you persist.
I just want to commend you and say that you have more patience than I do. Keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks!
Yup, this commerad (the one you're responding to) is 100% okay with fascism it seems.
Better to allow the group that locks up protestors, doesn't convict anti fascist murderers, kills minorities, and actively surpresses the ability to vote, than vote for "the lesser of 2 evils". I'm not saying they're Russian, or Republican, but they're saying the same things as those groups.
The only line I didn’t like
As always, liberals' "support" for national liberation movements only extends to words, if even that.
They'll gladly support genocide in practice while capitalism gradually decays into fascism, as they've let happen in Europe in the past.

Nah you’re assuming a lot of garbage because you’re dumb. I’m stuck in a first past the post system given a choice between actual trash or a biohazardous fascist dumpster fire. If you don’t vote, you’re more likely giving power to the biohazardous dumpster again and we all saw how that worked out. You’re an idiot if you think not voting absolves you from the consequences of the next person in power.
Nah you're just a dumbass for thinking that voting for either of the genocidal fascists and endorsing the capitalist system keeping them in power "absolves" you of anything (whatever that means).
Political power in a capitalist state comes from organizing, not from writing the name of some maniac on a piece of paper
Do something about it lmao. I want to hear about you on the news organizing your way to power before the election. Name drop Jaderick in your speeches, I would love to see it and you could prove me wrong.
In the mean time you’re just trash sitting there doing nothing lol.
Come November, either Trump or Biden will be elected into office, whether you like it or not.
If your goal is to organize, one of those outcomes will make that harder to do than the other.
So you're concerned about it getting harder, but advocating for actions that increase the likelihood of it getting much harder, much more quickly.
Make it make sense.
These accelerationists in this thread are the dumbest people on the left who don’t care about the oppressed sympathetic to their views and are directly in harms’ way if things get worse, because they want to gamble on a violent revolution that will nebulously make things better w/o any plan.
The stupidity is almost humorous.
So again, it sounds like your concern is the GOP being emboldened to do crazier shit. So the solution is to hand them the presidency and the freedom to do all the crazy shit they want.
Make it make sense.
Cool fanfic.
Only if you guys get your way.
Kinda wild how the narrative you guys prop up has moved from "both sides are the same" to "actually if Trump had won in 2020 that would have been better"
The mask is really coming off.
Really? Are we watching the same news? The Democrats are pulling the same exact bullshit trump did with protestors.
Which is, of course, the one and only metric to measure.
You specifically mentioned organizing. So I specifically responded.
You're accusing them of thinking voting gives absolution? You're the ignorant one here, and you deserve to be ground under the boots of fascism.
Looks like a liberal was scratched.
.ml accounts and cutting off their nose to spite their face. Name a more iconic duo.
You MAGAts keep screaming about how if we don’t vote blue, fascism will gain even more power.
What exactly do you think is happening right now under Biden?
It’s incredibly telling of the liberal brain rot that you can listen to this entire song and your only argument is “but orange man bad”.
So, to quote the warrior-poet: “And fuck no, I’m not votin’ for you in the fall”
A slower slide into fascism than would happen under Trump. How was that not clear?
Lmao calling me MAGA. Dude can’t even read a post history, I’m surprised you can format a post.
So what are you then, just nihilist internet trash? Explain how not voting is going to make Palestinian lives better. While you’re at it, explain how a Trump presidency would be better for fighting fascism. Explain how not participating in the system of power is somehow going to give you what you want, whatever that may be? You just want to watch the world burn? Start with your own house.
Same here, sounds like a lot of these people are disenfranchised, or are paid to dissuade voters from one particular side, or they're useful idiots.
I live in a first past the post system, it's not going to change for the better from the top down, I petition for ranked choice voting on the local level, if I want to continue to be able to vote in the future (and not in a Russian sense of "being able to vote") I'm voting for Biden.
Don't let the astroturfing here dissuade you.
For sure, I know accelerationists are the dumbest people on the left who have never picked up a book in their life. I’m getting downvoted in series of 7 votes which seems like a strange number to AstroTurf lmao.
Funny how overnight (Russian working hours) our comments went from +20 and +10 to into the negatives, isn't it?
We can see the votes. You don't have 10 or 20 upvotes on any comment in here. Stop lying.
You can see the vote history? Last night I'm pretty sure I was at 20 and the first response was at 10... But maybe it was a different thread? Pretty sure it was this one..
Yes. It simply shows The up and down votes separately. Unless people changed their vote it was never that high.
