    You may have missed some information here.

    Btw, @Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is a case in point of what I was referring to. @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social is in one of the lefties that is saying we should ignore voting. They are not wrong that the dems don't represent us, but they are also not willing to show up to primaries to move them as left as possible, nor will they likely be interested in splitting. I'd like to be wrong, but it is all to common on lemmy.

    Which means the meme will hold and we will still be left with no influence for another election cycle. Its a massive unforced error to ignore elections. They are not the end all be all, but they will add credibility to our movement. Being able to get millions of followers to show up one day to tick some lines on a paper means you are also able to get them to organize in other ways too. We only hurt our own credibility and presence in peoples minds. As our own party or subsection of the dems (like the tea party of sorts) it does not matter; tho it would be nice to be our own faction.

    So, you want to bomb us again?
    How many more McCarthyism do you need to comprehend your electors are bought and paid for?

    Wait, you legit believe popular votes actually elect presidents‽

    I don't even want riffles when you have comrades suffering in deathcamps.

    Are you going to join me in demolishing one?

    Doesn't matter. It is a form of organizing. And if you have the popular vote it is also obvious and the momentum is there to force a change by popular uprising.

    Are you going to join me in demolishing one?

    I am questioning your commitment to organizing to take one down. Can't even get you to show up to a lower stakes polling place, but you are going to lay siege to a fortified camp? Sure bud.

    Doesn’t matter

    pfffffpft Ok electoralist, where is your “uprise”? Where’s 🇺🇲 antifa alliance?

    commitment to organizing

    Demolished, by your own administration.

    lower stakes polling

    All you had to say you're preparing my coffin.

    lay siege to a fortified camp?

    So you're purposely confusing Guantanamo for barewired fences? Which of these deathcamps I linked had fortifications again? Remind me “bro bud”

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you saying your position is “don’t vote don’t resist”? Because that’s what this sounds like.

    “don’t vote don’t resist”

    I think @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social is genuine in wanting resistance, but is failing to see that in practice it will mean no resistance. I never said electoralism is all we need. I am saying that it is a form of organizing and one that bring credibility to our movement. It shows numbers and willingness to act in a way that is political and explicit in its goals.

    How do you organize in a system meant to disorganize⸮

    I think you're unwilling to directly organize outside of the systems that oppress us. You keep adamantly avoiding my questions, as if I do not see how 🇺🇲 has historically genocided Leftists. Our goals have been explicit from the start, yet, how did you treat us?

    Again, what are the Leftist party in 🇺🇲 I can “vote for”?

    None as we have neglected to form one.

    Now, you are denying history. And my direct affiliation which we formed.

    Any more electoralist sentiments you want you say?

    You have literally asked why we don't have a party and you have spent the thread telling me you wouldn't vote for it. Can't have a movement if people no show for it. Part of how you organize is elections. Anyway its getting tedious to repeat the point I am making, so unless you have something real to add this is going to be the last reply.

    It's pointless trying to converse with these types of people, man. They're just the left version of "maga" with purity tests, and refusing to be a part of a System that requires engagement to change.

    thread telling me you wouldn’t vote for it

    You strawmanned this all on your own bub.

    Part of how you organize is elections

    No bub, you organize by intersecting, solidarity, and helping the ailing. Elections is how you got Donald Trump elected twice, firstly unpopular. Since you are historically illiterate, I feel I won't be aided in defortifying deathcamps with you right this moment, so good luck on your suicide this midterms.

    So, you're unstrawmanning your strawman, or are you really going to demolish deathcamps and compost nazis at the same time?

    You may think you are, but your weird anchor text advert style of writing is quite confusing and honestly a little infuriating.

    It doesn’t even seem to be related to what’s being talked about, which kinda makes me wonder what the point is.

    Very simple dear, refresh my responses to IC2: the electoralist is perfectly aware 🇺🇲 is about to implement Reichstagsbrandverordnung in order to genocide all political opponents this 🇺🇲midterms.

    Instead of actually doing direct acts against the rise of Nazism in🇺🇲, IC2 is preferring to coalesce the Deutschnationale Volkspartei coalition.

    I see the Nazi praxis being reformed, instead of the antifascist acts.

    These ultra Leftists will cry for communism but haven't done shit to build it from the ground up. They will criticize Progressives and Dem Socs for organizing while they themselves remain as keyboard warriors.

    I think Lenin made it very clear that we are to operate within the existing societal systems before any revolution is had. That means voting. And as you point out, that also means primary-ing bad Democrats.
