  • The times where the democrats had full power with a good margin were the best/least bad legislative periods the USA has ever had. Yes, yes, they are bad in so many other ways. Yes, just voting for them isn’t going to just fix everything.

    But I NEED online leftists to shut the fuck up if they don’t have a better option for the 4 hours once every 4 years it takes to vote. What exactly are you doing with exactly those hours that it having such a big impact on the world? Bitching online? Reading theory for the 50-th time?

    You people can’t even revolutionize what you eat for justice, yet you expect an instant, bloody revolution to magically spring forth purely from online shit posting.

    Well, according to the logic present in this very thread, some people have tried organizing, but they haven’t single handedly stopped fascism, ergo organizing labor is useless, just like voting. There’s nothing we can do that doesn’t require a large amount of people to organize and invest time, effort and money. Of all the options, voting is (because of laws) still the cheapest, most legal, least likely to get you fired option. And we can’t even manage that.

    No, we’re just talking about actually voting here. Don’t add a bunch of stuff. You don’t need to canvas to vote. And in the context of the thing written, what action do you think people bitching in this thread are genuinely going to take? How many walmart firebombers are among all the terminally online leftists here?

    Yes, if we just shoot the CEOs, the customers will magically stop wanting fast fashion, fast food, waste amounts of cheap meat, cheap and new electronics every year…

    I don’t disagree that it would have a positive effect, but I hate the overly reductive takes on systems being completely disconnected from the people. We need to realize that our (western) life style is simply not sustainable, capitalism or not. That requires serious changes for everyone, not just the “rich”.
