      Electoralism is working because idiots like you keep telling libs to not vote.

      Politicians do not determine the course of history, the ruling class does. The politicians are just the tool through which they operate.

      You do not change the direction or goals of the ruling class by voting. If they want it a certain way, they will get it that way.

      You've really got to understand that the bourgeoisie as a class are hierarchically above the politicians, not below below them.

      There are a dozen different ways to write an executive order that would protect women nationwide from roe v wade being abolished, they are collaborators and want this outcome.

      Well this is just not true. Electoralism doesn't work for quite a few reasons, including but not limited to:

      • First past the post is a terrible way to run an election.

      • Single member districts will always lead to outcomes that are bad for minorities.

      • The political "left" (the Democrats) are clearly not left at all and would rather work with Republicans than help people.

      • There are fewer polling places in poor, minority, or student neighborhoods, making it harder to vote if you're any of those things.

      • Partisan gerrymandering is a thing, and the Democrats never use it for good, even though they could.

      • The Democrats go out of their way to ensure that progressives don't win primaries, meaning the general election is usually between a ghoulish Republican and (at best) a useless "moderate".

      Pretty ironic to call anyone a radlib and then go "The republicans wanna ban voting because they know where real power lies".

        I wouldn't listen to someone who thinks electoralism works(for whom does she think it works?), that we should "infiltrate" the police, thinks calling socdems as social fascists is incorrect.
