Do the #Democrats suck?
Yes
The Democrats are also #Mamdani and #AOC
Do you view the Dems as an omnipotent alien monolith?
Why? They are an empty vessel. Fill them with your will. 50 AOCs. 50 Mamdanis
Do the centrists disgust you?
Good
Mob the #primaries. Vote them out
No?
You'd rather just feel disgust and disengage?
What does that achieve?
Are your feelings more important than our reality?
Fucking #VOTE goddamn it
How many fought and died- for your indolence and ineffectuality?
assuming of course, that the situation we're in is full blown fascism. oh yes, we're well on our way. but we're not there yet. assuming we're already there is a form of premature capitulation
ah the "it can't get worse" fallacy
perhaps combined with "i can't do it anything about it" fallacy?
that's the usual ineffectuality of the left
i'm not accusing you of that. but please note the road these kind of thoughts go down
@benroyce Oh I don’t think it can get worse. I think we are in a fascist nation. It’s doing fascist things already. There’s nothing to wait for and no future where we need to anticipate things getting worse.
November is not the time to take action. The time is right now. Voting is simply trying to pick a messiah to save you, to spare you from putting your body on the line. Nobody is coming to save us… and if they did they wouldn’t be wearing a suit.
> Oh I don’t think it can get worse. I think we are in a fascist nation.
By this I mean that, as our inherent fascist tendencies have metastasized, there’s no point in wondering if / when things will get worse. They will. All the possible bad things are just sitting in a queue waiting to be deployed. To me, all the worst is here waiting for their respective turns. Hardly a fallacy to expect evil things to happen under fascism.
fascist tendencies always existed and always will
dealing with it is just like taking the trash out every thursday
*not* taking it out is what led us to this
so let's take it out
vote
or what?
it's just a tactic
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES
