If "stop supporting genocide" isn't the first step, then what the fuck is? I can't think of a lower bar, but I'm told it's actually a "purity test".
Democrats and Republicans aren't actually against each other, they pretend to be two different parties as it is an effective psy-op to keep the populace believing in a Reformist path to change, so we do not pursue a Revolutionary path instead. As long as the populace continues to believe a Reformist path (like voting) is able to save them, the Capitalists can continue doing what ever they want, only Revolution can save us (IE we must save ourselves by overthrowing the Capitalists), and only once the people in general realize this, can Revolution actually succeed. It is also why we must keep pointing out to people how the system is rigged against us, how as long as we live in Capitalism Democracy is a lie and the oppression and exploitation and U.S. bombings will continue.
This "Good" Cop / "Bad" Cop routine has been going on for decades. Both parties are still cops and ACAB.
Just to be clear, Cops being bad is not an inherent property of them in and of itself, but rather Cops serve the State, and in a Capitalist country, the State serves Capital, and so the Cops also serve Capital, but in a Socialist country, such as China, the Cops are completely different as the State actually serves the interest of the overall masses, and so the Cops also by extension.
I remember when they were trying to endorse Mike Bloomberg the republican billionaire.
Really tired of "both sides bad." Political change should not be moving fast and breaking things.
Right now we have a hole to dig out from. We need to get to the point where we can vote for the people we really want.
By not voting you say that everything is fine and you are okay with the status quo.
Vote for the change we need right now. Do not let our future slip away.
We need to get to the point where we can vote for the people we really want.
You people have actual short term memory loss
How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?

This is the most political-history ignorant comment I've read in a very long time.
How do you think people have rights?
Yeah like how do you vote for voting rights before you even get them? 🔨
History started with the first election of the USA.
"We need to vote for change and to dig ourselves out from this hole!"
-Proceeds to vote for Democrats, who change nothing, and dig the hole deeper.
"Oh well, my memory will have reset long before the next election comes around, so we can do it all again!"
Political change should not be moving fast and breaking things.
It should absolutely 100% be that when the alternative is genocide and fascism.
The only reason you wouldn't want to break things right now means you still think there is good in the system. The system is working as intended and absolutely needs to be broken so something better can be made.
Genuinly curious. With your plan to vote for the democrats to dig out of the hole the US has dug itself, how will you be able to vote for the party that you want to vote for later?
There’s been more democratic socialists elected this year than ever.
Which support genocide! https://youtu.be/pKAYLj1TpRI
