    But, if we just vote them out they’ll go “aw shucks, I guess we gotta pack it up”.

    I know Jan 6 happened, but they fucked off after losing the election in 2029 when the found no means of weaseling their way to hold onto power. Voting was a means to that end. Not the sole solution but absolutely a tool to be leveraged, imo.

      Yeah but then Biden came into power and did nothing to stop fascism, continued to fund and support the same agencies, continued to support genocide in Palestine, and so on. Democrats are the enemy too. You must realize this.

        That’s why I encourage everyone to engage with and support actual progressive candidates. Then you gotta vote for them when primaries roll around

          This shit won’t work. It has been tried for decades. It is a big, stinking, failure. Leave it in the garbage can of history and come into the future with us, comrade. The revolution needs you.
