There. I've said it.

spoilerVoting is the absolute bare minimum amount of political activity you can do

spoilerI'm not an American so I can't vote in your stupid elections anyway

spoilerJust seeing if this will rile up the other instance libs

You're kind of missing the point. What are you doing to stop fascism outside of bourgeois elections? Because voting D will never stop fascism.

    Okay so you're participating in local bourgeois elections.

    Supporting my local dsa in tenant organizing, union organizing, and municipal organizing. You know, actually building a base of power to challenge Republicans because the democrats never will.

    We're also taking over local offices. But we're doing it together as an organized block that's actually able to exert power, because we've actually built power.

    Im doing more than voting though. Are you running for office yourself? Are your candidates winning?

    Im doing more than voting though.

    I never claimed you weren't, Im claiming that you're limiting political engagement solely to participating in bourgeois elections (voting, running, etc)

    Are you running for office yourself?

    No, I, a trans woman, am not running for school board while fascists are screaming about how all trans women are pedophiles. I would like to not get stochastic murdered.

    Are your candidates winning?

    Enough of them are that we are close to cementing power.

    I will point out that you did not interface with the bulk of my comment, which is about building power. How are you building community power?

    Right now Im in the suburbs so things like tenant unions are difficult since almost everyone owns their homes and right now the best path for the community is keeping fascists out of power while trying to get the overtly racist town board members out of office.

    We are having some luck with the latter as those racists have cost the town a bunch money recently and voters are pissed.
