    I wish people would stop pretending we're all saying dont vote, never vote, ever! the nerds in here just dont want to vote for the dems or repubs, we're not mud guzzling reformists, but in my view, I love a good democracy larp

      Pretty much. Vote for whoever you want, just don't pretend it actually does much of anything. I'll take a hardworking comrade who voted for biden over someone who refused to vote but also refuses to do any other political activity or organizing work, but I completely respect anyone who can't stomach voting for biden, or says its pointless, because it is. As long as you take that lesson and start doing more than just light charity and doorknocking for democrats.

        watching some of this a new movement wont materialise out of thin air accompanied with ps vote blue ✌️ is pretty funny, theyre not perfect but there are socialist orgs in the states worth getting excited about.

        Drooling for the democrats is some intense american exceptionalist, defend tradition bullshit if I ever saw it.. I would personally love to know what kind of on the ground local organising Nat does lol, organising an interview with a war criminal doesnt count 💅

          Yeah exactly, their solution is to deride, or to ignore the existence of, all alternatives to blue maga, and then say "you have no alternative I don't see you starting a movement" type shit. I'd respect shilling for fucking DSA way more than this, and DSA kinda sucks.

            Liberals continue to talk down to the poor and brush off their concerns and then wonder why dipshits like Trump get elected

        As someone who doesn't give a fuck about voting but will spend a thousand dollars of my own money to go half way across the country and do relation building with Lakota, Canadian, Romanian, Mexican, German, etc. and other comrades from all over the world in the most impoverished place in the entire US, that take of hers makes my fucking blood boil. Like great Natalie, what the fuck have you ever done but grift off patreon with your artsy vapid "philosophy" video essays you monumental piece of shit. Go hang outt with more war criminals and call it praxis you slimy fucking ghoul.

        If CLN had her patreon funding we'd be well on our way to a real revolutionary movement by now. Instead I had to scrape by for the entire year at my shitty retail job to afford just one trip like this.

          yeah she never was great but her smarmy centrist arc really irks me. chunka luta is 1,000,000 times cooler than random white lib in baltimore who's only relevant online
