Oh my goodness, you are one tracking on elections so hard. You ignore everything I say and circle right back around to voting. Alright I’ll humor you.

Our plan for 2026 election:

-Vote in primary if applicable

-Vote in general

Great, super easy to get all of our planning done. It took all of five seconds and when it comes time to actually vote it will take less than an hour. I don’t understand why we need to plan something this simple so far in advance but now we’ve got a plan.

Now that thats out of the way we can focus on more important things like finding ways to build more robust communities and serve our neighbors in need. The Democrats aren’t coming to save anyone for literally years, there are hungry, unhoused, and unemployed people that need help now.

Do you even have a plan for what you will do if the Democrats don’t win the election? What about if the Democrats win the election but still screw the working class? Are you going to wait 50 years to see if voting Democrat works or not before you try anything else? Given the Democrats performance over the past 50 years I’d say starting and stopping your political engagement at voting and electoralism is magical thinking, a hail Mary, all eggs in one basket, a recipe for disaster.

Say it with me, voting and mutual aid are not mutually exclusive. You can do both at the same time. Mutual aid/community organizing takes hard work on a regular basis while voting is a passive affair that takes a couple of hours a year at most. Of the two spending more of your focus and energy on the lower effort, passive option is a recipe for failure.

You can start working on mutual aid today. it’s not a wish list, it’s something you can actually incorporate into your life. At a bare minimum treat it like church and participate for at least a couple of hours a week.

Ive been involved with a group making free food for the community for eight years. This is going to be a generational struggle. You already think that it would take 50 years of Democratic super majorities to accomplish anything, what’s a decade or two of working to build robust community organizations that would facilitate a general strike?

And the icing on the cake is you can still vote for your democratic super majority; mutual aid/community organizing and voting are not mutually exclusive although I have to say voting is a very passive activity you might do a couple times a year a most. Building community organizations and mutual aid networks is much more involved and takes diligence and continual effort.

There’s no reason you can’t do both. If you are serious about fixing this country we are going to need to do everything we possibly can and then sustain that effort until the job is done.

I said it in my own top level comment too but I’ll post it again here sibce you’re asking. I’d highly recommend ketamine as an alt drug. At low doses like a bump or three it’s a perfectly functional alcohol substitute except there’s no hangover or feeling sick after.

It makes me wanna dance and does a better job of mitigating social anxiety. If I’m in a crowd it literally makes the people appear as if they are further apart than they were before I took a couple bumps.

Loading it in a metal bullet I can discreetly use it in just about any setting. You just gotta make sure you go slow and small so you don’t get k holed in public lol

I was a horrible smoke all day stoner for years while I was dealing with health problems. Now that I’m healthier I’ve been doing something I call the One Dab A Day Challenge.

I smoke one time a day, at the end of the day. Tolerance is resetting to a point where I don’t crave the high all day and most days the one smoke gets me higher than the previous day, very slow

Also I’d highly recommend ketamine as an alt drug. At low doses like a bump or three it’s a perfectly functional alcohol substitute except there’s no hangover or feeling sick after.

Your childish understanding of politics is perfectly congruent with the immaturity evident in your behavior

Guy who thinks Trump is a communist also acts like an insufferable child, go figure

Been in and out of Linux since 2006.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon DE is the only distro I’ve ever used that worked flawlessly for everything without needing to use the terminal at all. It worked so well it was boring. It’s the only distro I would recommend to a lay person
