    And then they won't and then 2022 will be "the most important election ever" but will end with repubs taking back the government and then 2024 will be "the most important election ever" and then Biden will win president again because the right will be split between Trump and not Trump and then 2026 will just be more Republicans in power and then 2028 will be "the most important election ever" and they'll run another shitty right wing Dem and then we'll get Trump 2.0 but more competent this time them 2030 will be "the most important election ever" and then we'll die from global warming.

    Bourgeoisie Electoralism is useless

      I don't think Bourgeois Electoralism is useless, just hopeless. I know for myself Bernie running exposed me to new ideas that I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. I was fully caught in the unthinking lib dynamic like I'm sure many others were as well. Using elections to agitate and radicalize people is cool and good and should absolutely be used more. No, it's not how socialists will come to power. But they can be used as a tool. And from that perspective Bernie's campaign was incredibly useful to me and other baby leftists who are now aware there are other options. Using electoralism to start off the radicalization pipeline is huge.
