If only Americans didn’t hate LGBT and minorities so much they might be actually be able to progress instead of continuing the American tradition of two steps forward one step back.

    Do they vote along party lines? Hell, do they vote along party lines more often than not?

    Because I genuinely don’t care about anything else at this point. I’ll take a “low key Republican” supportive of democracy with a even vaguely acceptable voting record over an online communist campaigning for Trump. Any day.

    Let me put it on extremely online bougie-commie terms: what you’re doing here? In the context of a surging fascist party? That’s class treason.

      Actually, engaging with the electoral system and not voting for the communist running for government is the class traitor activity

        Not with the fascists at the gate, my performatively disingenuous political tadpole. Actual anarchists, when faced with that dychotomy went to actual war alongside liberals, communists and other leftists they very profoundly disliked to stop them taking over. More than once. You’re just shilling for a toupeed, even dumber version of Mussolini instead. Again, I don’t know if it’s ignorance or malice, but I have zero tolerance for either under the circumstances.

            No, not all my political enemies. You are. Because of the things you say and do.

            I haven’t accused anybody else of that. Just you, in response to the explicit things you’ve posted. But keep deflecting, you’re doing great.

            Also, if you’re not lying about being an ideological anarchist, you’re not my “political enemy”. I’m just not convinced of your bona fides on that front, given all the shilling for Putin and Trump.

              I’m literally not shilling for either, but the extent of your ability to debate is accusing the other person of having secret allegiances

                No, you’re misunderstanding, I’m not accusing you of lying to shill.

                I’m saying the position you’re claiming, portrayed honestly, is advocating for fascism. Because political positions, by definition, aren’t held in a vacuum. Context is part of your stance, and refusing to act to stop fascism promotes the spread of fascism.

                  I don’t think the Democrats are a credible alternative, I mean they’re literally participating in an extermination campaign right now

                    You keep trying that line, it’s not gonna work any better by repeating it. We’ve addressed it, and each time you’ve been confronted with the consequences of the alternative you’ve pressed the reset button and refused to assess Trump’s position or policy at any point.

                    For such a busy real world activist that is super busy doing super real organizing you sure are fond of wasting both of our time.
