@TruthSandwich @systemofanup @StevenBeschloss Care to explain why communists are “Trumpers from the left?”

I am a socialist who will certainly vote for Biden next year (probably — my vote for president in California does not matter one lick)

Liberals are not “the real left.” Liberals are center-right capitalists

@peterbutler @[email protected] @StevenBeschloss thank God finally someone who knows the difference between being left and being a liberal. Personally I'm not going to be voting, but at least you understand that people who serve capitalist interests will only ever pursue capitalist interests and thus no politician will get us closer to liberation.

@systemofanup @peterbutler @TruthSandwich @StevenBeschloss if you’re not going to vote, do you really have the right to complain?

@LexiGirl @peterbutler @[email protected] @StevenBeschloss if you're not going to think critically about the system you're voting in do you really have the right to complain when your leaders go back on their campaign promises and support fascism? Do something else.

@systemofanup @peterbutler @TruthSandwich @StevenBeschloss I’m Australian. We have to vote by law. We gather the facts and vote accordingly and we aren’t tied to a particular party. It’s not a perfect system, but at least those whinging about their politicians will have done their civic duty and tried to change things.
