      oh yeah that's why so many people on this site are involved in labor organizing. that's why the test of a true leftist here is "are you involved in labor organizing?" and not "are you performatively disengaged from electoral politics?"

      diaping out about libs saying "vote!!!" isn't very grillpilled tbh. if you're going to obsess that much you might as well do it, you already have the mind-virus.

        Yeah, a lot of people here are engaged in organizing, agitation, and action. Are you calling us libs because you won't get off your ass and pass out a flyer or paste some posters on a wall? Because you won't talk to your coworkers?

          ... Who denies climate change? Who can listen to scientists? Who likely has a much longer attention span? Who's going to support LGBT? I mean there is recognizable differences. In some ways, in very important ways, no there are no differences but there are meaningful differences that we can't just ignore either.

            Trumps terrible attention span is actually great though, he hasn't managed to stay the course on even one major imperialist clusterfuck outside of the US yet unlike basically every other president ever. Trump might actually be the damage reduction candidate for the rest of the world.

              Even if that's true I can trust Biden to consult his advisors atleast.

                      You can do a gesture at the very least of getting Trump out, like no shit it's not going to suddenly make the world a socialist utopia but c'mon really? Fascism, white supremacy and climate change can stay?

                The advisors will tell him how many death squads to find and kids to kill. Is that what you're happy about?

                An incompetent Amerikan Empire is, in terms of harm reduction, better for the world.

                  What about the people who live in the US? Women are about to lose their reproductive rights because of Trump. It doesn't matter if the libs enabled him we still have to deal with the fact that the fascist exist.
