Because who needs to thoughtfully engage with arguments about the utility of electoralism, when you can smugly make a bingo card, and pretend that you won?

    Funny enough, all the Ukraine/Israel hawks don't like when you tell them they should sign up to fight

    Too bad they'll just ban you and send you a reddit cares if you say "I did run, and when I win, I'll ban all social media so you have to touch grass"

    All the “competition” in each party immediately folded after a couple weeks of performative campaigns because there are greater forces at work that’ll never allow it to happen

    "Okay, if that's the case then the most realistic thing I can do is a protest vote against Biden and for the GOP because that way I'm making the effect of my vote on the Democratic party have at least double the impact.

    If the Dems want my vote they have to earn it but until that happens not only are they losing one vote but they're getting one vote for the opposing party.

    I will encourage other voters to engage in protest voting this way so we can form a bloc to affect change in the most realistic and pragmatic way under this system. We will lobby for change and hold the entire system hostage in the same way that the Dems and their supporters are attempting to hold us hostage. Turnabout play is fair.

    Thank you for helping me to understand that voting is powerful and how it's crucial to democracy."

    Not acknowledging any election other than the presidential general

    I check out every ballot in my local district. But all of the Democratic candidates support Israel, cops, and the military, so I don't bother voting for them.

    For real. I don't know who they think they're talking about, but every leftist I know still at least looks at all the elections. Probably moreso than any lib. Libs think voting every four years is the pinnacle of political action but I guarantee none of them go to every local election.

    I don't even believe in electoralism but I usually go if there's something worth voting on or against.

    B

    1. No, your shitty candidate is the reason
    2. Yes
    3. What other actions have you taken? What use were they?
    4. Voters have the memory of a goldfish. The current guy is bad (as always) so they vote for the other guy.
    5. Marx, Lenin, Parenti, probably a bunch of others.

    I

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. Yes
    4. Sacrificing thousands of Palestinian lives for your own benefit is selfish.
    5. Yes

    N

    1. No, but it should at least not actively make things worse.
    2. You're the one trying to convince people to do something, if you're an asshole about it they probably won't want to do it. We don't care either way.
    3. Yes
    4. Yes
    5. Not necessarily, but it is saying you're fine with their big policies, like genocide.

    G

    1. It doesn't matter whether you vote, but I will think less of you for doing so.
    2. It doesn't, but neither does voting.
    3. "My guy's genocide isn't as bad" isn't the argument you think it is.
    4. Literally every election at all levels is the same: center-right lib vs right wing lib. We've tried multiple times to change that by voting for center-left libs in primaries, but you have resisted us every time, and those center-left libs turned out to be pretty shitty too.
    5. Nah, but I'd probably keep replying because I hate seeing stupid shit go unchallenged. I probably shouldn't though.

    O

    1. Voting for a candidate that supports genocide does indeed mean you support genocide.
    2. What fucking primaries?
    3. Yes
    4. Yes
    5. It gives you the same amount of power as voting.

    100% hit rate

    the only one i was possibly considering being a debate pervert about was G4 but your edit cleared that up completely - even the lightest leftward push is frustrated by libs at all and every level.
    (I still might harbour some personal libshit hope that some political apparatus can be captured hyperlocally by electoral means, but a lot of evidence points to me being fucking wrong)

    The best part about these kinds of posts is that it’s a 98% chance that a white person made it and they will never dare say it to a POC in person because they won’t be able to justify why we should vote for a cracker who wants to keep throwing us in a meat grinder at home and abroad

    Did you know, Americans have to pay a renounciation fee of $2350! And that's the least of their worries in the process in my opinion.

    I don't fucking care if you vote for Biden or not. Whatever. It's literally not important. Do literally anything else that doesn't involve bending over for the democrats. Do literally any political action that isn't voting once every four years and harassing people online. Fucking go join a union or hand out food. Make a community garden. Do literally anything that will actually impact the way people live their lives if you want to be taken seriously.

    ”Voting for a candidate is endorsing everything about them.”

    Isn’t that exactly what they’ve been saying about Trump voters for the last eight years?

    I mean, Biden has done so done well, with more of the AmeriKKKan-Mexican wall being built, failure to protect abortion, failure to protect queer and trans lives from fascists in RepubliKKKan SStateSS, more damn KKKops in AmeriKKKa, and a fucking genocide in Palestine.

    But sure, do go on to patronize those damn non-voters for not voting blue no matter who.

    At least with KKKonservativeSS, they'll just do it (even though the movements of it are fucking dangerous.) With liberalSS like these, they do it, but pretend to support the oppressed with their fake words to deceive them. This is why I use KKK and SS to replace letters because of these fucking smug baSStardSS.

    Death to AmeriKKKa, and to the liberal and fascist movements of it. amerikkka
