I don't want to hear any shit about me shilling for Biden, because I'm not. Fuck Biden. Need to get this off my chest though.
I want fascists around the world to feel what we felt the night Corbyn lost, when we found out Bernie had a heart attack, when he conceded defeat like a coward.
Because they haven't felt anything but power and hate for the past 5 years.
The wave of fascist parties taking hold in Europe and parts of South America were buoyed by what happened on our stolen land. We showed them what was possible and we need to do that again, except in an explicit rejection of rightwing fascism.
I want Trump to be buried alive (electorally) so we can take (online) pilgrimages to piss on his (campaign's) grave.
I want Biden to be on full display 24/7 so that the entire world realizes what a joke neoliberalism is and we can finally destroy it.
I want to build real power and bully libs and tell them that we don't have to take their shit because "The dang cheeto" is no longer in the White House and we're not fucking around, and all of the harm that is happening to people around the world is because their guy is a failure.
I feel at this point leftist orgs need to own up to their anti-fascist claims and do the bare minimum of calling for Trumps removal, even if they also denounce Biden in the process.
Anyways. Have a nice night, comrades. Stay safe and stay hydrated.
QUICK EDIT: I also wanna see the left organize an anti-war movement rivaling the leadup to Iraq under a Democratic president the minute Sleepy Joe tries to pull some shit. That would fucking slap.
Misinterpreted and I'm dead tired but this was just an example, not "wishing genocide" or some other weird shit.
ANOTHER EDIT: People seem to be implying that I am saying "vote for Biden".. I'm not, I am expressing my own views and feelings on the current state of hell, though it should NOT be controversial to want to remove a literal fascist from office on a leftist internet community.
Ah well. At least only hundreds of thousands Iraquis died because of that little fuck up! Whoopsie doodle!
What is your suggestion? How will that improve life for the most people?
??? Not vote for a war criminal who already has hundreds of thousands of people's lives of blood on their hands? Like you're asking me like it's an "own" when really all you have to do is not be complicit in it???
And then of course, join local orgs (as i have) to protest wars and imperialist actions (as i have). You literally aknowledged that voting doesn't matter so why do you are you looking for so many excuses to vote for a war criminal?
Imagine thinking that something as inconsequential as not voting absolves your complicity.
imagine thinking voting for the man who put millions of black people in prison and got rid of their voting rights is "helping" more than actually doing prison abolition work
I didn't make that comparison, nor will I imagine doing so.
Okay so you're doing less than me but still telling me I'm not doing enough for no reason then???
Where did I tell you that you aren't doing enough? Calm down and go read again because I didn't.
your said not voting doesn't absolve my "complicity" in....not voting for a war criminal I guess. Do you stand by that? that voting for a war criminal makes you less complicit than not voting for one?
Just trying to figure out how doing more activist work than people who vote for war criminals makes me complicit in American imperialism.
If you're an American then you're complicit and not voting doesn't change that fact.
Whatever else you do is irrelevant to the narrow point about abstention that I've made.
