      Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you saying your position is “don’t vote don’t resist”? Because that’s what this sounds like.

        “don’t vote don’t resist”

        I think @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social is genuine in wanting resistance, but is failing to see that in practice it will mean no resistance. I never said electoralism is all we need. I am saying that it is a form of organizing and one that bring credibility to our movement. It shows numbers and willingness to act in a way that is political and explicit in its goals.

          How do you organize in a system meant to disorganize⸮

          I think you’re unwilling to directly organize outside of the systems that oppress us. You keep adamantly avoiding my questions, as if I do not see how 🇺🇲 has historically genocided Leftists. Our goals have been explicit from the start, yet, how did you treat us?

          Again, what are the Leftist party in 🇺🇲 I can “vote for”?

                You have literally asked why we don’t have a party and you have spent the thread telling me you wouldn’t vote for it. Can’t have a movement if people no show for it. Part of how you organize is elections. Anyway its getting tedious to repeat the point I am making, so unless you have something real to add this is going to be the last reply.

                  It’s pointless trying to converse with these types of people, man. They’re just the left version of “maga” with purity tests, and refusing to be a part of a System that requires engagement to change.

                  thread telling me you wouldn’t vote for it

                  You strawmanned this all on your own bub.

                  Part of how you organize is elections

                  No bub, you organize by intersecting, solidarity, and helping the ailing. Elections is how you got Donald Trump elected twice, firstly unpopular. Since you are historically illiterate, I feel I won’t be aided in defortifying deathcamps with you right this moment, so good luck on your suicide this midterms.

          You may think you are, but your weird anchor text advert style of writing is quite confusing and honestly a little infuriating.

          It doesn’t even seem to be related to what’s being talked about, which kinda makes me wonder what the point is.

      Wait, you legit believe popular votes actually elect presidents‽

      Doesn’t matter. It is a form of organizing. And if you have the popular vote it is also obvious and the momentum is there to force a change by popular uprising.

      Are you going to join me in demolishing one?

      I am questioning your commitment to organizing to take one down. Can’t even get you to show up to a lower stakes polling place, but you are going to lay siege to a fortified camp? Sure bud.
