These people are voting for Adolf Hitler out of fear that Joseph Goebbels would be worse. You should not forgive them.
And do what?
I’m all for rightful outrage but where do you personally direct it so as to dismantle the current system?
who are you voting for
Neither Democrats or republicans that’s for sure.
Fair enough, to answer your "what is to be done" question it is hard to say. Most people I know IRL are done with electoral politics even at the municipal level. But outside of that you run into the law very very quickly. Labor organization is a possible avenue that has seen growth. But the history of organized settler labor in the US does not give much optimism that it will be a force for radical change. So mostly people are just doing mutual aid networks, which with the generally awful conditions present in the US is basically just charity with no mutuality to be expected. Every meeting I have with people the same question comes up: what is to be done? Nobody has yet cracked the code of how to function as a leftist in the imperial core, for any empire really. Especially a settler state running a FIRE economy (Finance/Insurance/Real Estate) with all actually difficult labor outsourced to the third world. So if you're asking that question you're in the same boat as the rest of us.
