bearboiblakethe two party system is just one big party
alekwithakWhat in the Jill Stein bullshit is this? You honestly think shit would be just as bad if a dem was in the Whitehouse? Do you need some help off the toilet?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both supported the genocide in Gaza. Nancy Pelosi stood and clapped when Trump was making pro-interventionist remarks about Iran at the state of the union address.
I don’t like it either, but we can’t keep denying reality. The two party system needs to go.
Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.
I have to concede that 99% Hitler is better than 100% Hitler in the short term, that much is true, but if 99% Hitler wins then 100% Hitler can become 110% Hitler. Then 99% Hitler becomes 109% Hitler. That’s Blake’s Lesser Hitler Theory.
We need to LOUDLY and unanimously reject “Vote Blue No Matter Who” narratives, otherwise there is no incentive for the Democrats to ever move towards progressivism.
We also need to work on alternatives to electoralism broadly. I think the Black Panthers are a great example to follow.
Criminy, ‘vote blue’ doesn’t mean vote and then sit at home thinking your work is done. It means voting for the lesser evil and then continuing to leverage the whole of your might to making the system better. It means fight just as hard for justice, just do it while trying to pick a less evil bad guy to have to fight. You want a whole new system? Then fight for it, and vote blue while you’re at it because it’ll be easier to kick those idiots out than the outright fascists.
Sure, I get that, but if you always vote blue no matter who then there is no long-term harm reduction, it actually increases overall harm to have that philosophy. If you aren’t willing to withhold your support and vote third party then there is no incentive for democrats to try and win your vote.

bdonvrFYI your arguing with a tankies about “vote blue no matter who” when that fucker’s never even voted.

Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's "Zionist Bar Problem" - Lemmy.zip
Dbzero Governance Vote Post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/63525728 [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/63525728] >Ahoy mateys! >A few of our users have recently pointed out that a lot of the pro-Zionist accounts on the fediverse nowadays seem to come from the feddit.org [http://feddit.org] instance. >But whatever the excuse happens to be, they need to do better imo. Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there). And yet feddit.org [http://feddit.org] seems to regard the Palestinians fighting against Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation of their land as the real terrorists. … >More context >Our instance already voted to ban pro-Zionist accounts (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441 [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441] for reference) and the rule that was implemented is here: Golden Rule #8. >As further context, you can find relevant comments and discussion in this post by a banned feddit admin in MoG (that fact they chose to post in MoG is in itself quite telling), and this post about their defederation from quokk.au [http://quokk.au] over anti-semitism allegations has recently become active again. … >Note 2: If you think feddit.org [http://feddit.org] deserves a full instance ban instead, or have alternative suggestions, then please leave your comments below. If enough people think that’s the better option, then we’ll do that instead. In the end the Post had around 70% of support by dbzer0 users, who in the comments also called for defederation. Here is a Link to Dbzer0 instances tab https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances] where if you go to blocked instances you can see fedddit.org [http://fedddit.org] is now defederated i dont think feddit has made a post now, but when they do i will add it
I’m not a tankie, and I have voted in every election I have ever been eligible to vote in.
