    The Left is looking as good as it always did. Look there instead.

    You have to go back regardless so why push for an earlier stop?

      Because it’s a two party system and voting third party isn’t how you change that.

        Good luck explaining electoral politics to accelerationists, their political philosophy relies on not understanding that their methods only ever lead to more and more pain. The whole point is to make things intolerable to the point of revolution. Which would be very bloody in this country.

          This is precisely the kind of apathy to civic duty that won 4 more years of Trump (but this time with house, Senate and a stacked Scotus!).

          The thing with voting rights is you have to use it or you lose it. Pray you don’t lose it between now and the next one.

            Lol, “civic duty”.

            I’m not even American, homie. And believe me: even a less underdeveloped democratic system than the US won’t save us from fascism. Direct action and organizing will.
