The right understands that might equals right. They’re using citizen intimidation to steer judges towards rulings they want. This tactic will likely be more effective than boycotts and peaceful demonstrations. Learn something, people.
You’re exactly right. I still say vote blue no matter who when a republican is the alternative (it is a war after all), but I do think we can do better at picking our candidates in the primaries.
I am absolutely not talking about just “picking better candidates in the primaries.” How did you so comically miss my point entirely?
Look if we just sit back, we can vote again in 4 years and it’ll be fine. What do you mean they’ve made it harder to vote and gerrymandered my district?
Lol how did you miss your own point so comically?
You: liberals don’t get anything done they just squabble and their candidates don’t do shit
Them: you’re right we need to get our shit together and pick better candidates who will stop squabbling and get shit done.
You: nO nOt lIkE tHaT!!
Because you have to do shit besides just trying to pick better candidates with votes. Just waiting to vote is the issue.
i didn’t miss your naive ideological wish, but, because i’m a grown adult who’s been watching the political game for the last 30 years, i realize that third party candidates have no practical chance and i don’t want to hand another election to republicans.
i’m sorry you don’t understand american politics but you really should try harder before you spread more harmful disinformation.
let’s just agree one the one thing that really matters: guns.
He wasn’t saying to vote third party. He was saying progressive people need to get out and get in the face of office holders, threaten them with personal violence if necessary, for going along with fascist bullshit and trampling on the rights of the helpless.
He was saying that voting is bullshit. That phone calls & letters to representatives are a little, and getting out on the street matters. Especially if your representative is the other party.
oh my bad. absolutely agree. however, voting is still important in addition to all that. it’s a war. we have to use every tactic available.
I love your username by the way.
Yeah but voting is one day every four years. Yeah you should do it. But obviously it can’t be the only thing you do if you actually want to achieve anything politically. And if you act like it’s the only thing, or even the most important thing, you’re fucking up your country. Full stop.
Yes, exactly, thank you. I thought I put it pretty plainly but I guess it needed further explaining.
I think it would be more appropriate to say you’re voting anti-fascism. It just so happens that blue is the only legitimate option that’s anti-fascism.
