    no, if your “democracy will continue” involves supporting a genocidal maniac regardless of your other options, then your hands are just as stained as that of your government and that of the nazi-zionist state it’s supporting

    to rephrase, if you a Leftist (socialist, communist, anarchist, not a liberal) stoops so low as to vote for a genocidal or imperialist government to preserve fascist and inhumane values you don’t share, you’re just as responsible for the policies these governments enacts, be it land-grabbing, systemic discrimination, imperialist and genocidal foreign policies and the rest

    those same policies would later be used against you, as when there’s no outer group left to stomp on, they’ll turn on you, case in point, draconic spy laws once used against brown ppl, muslims and other foreigners are now being used against americans

    revolutions aren’t painstakingly planned, you prepare for it and embrace it when it happens

    to op above, you must be quite priviledged to be in a position where “life isn’t utterly intolerable” that little minority…

      Your delusion: social upheaval where workers unite and form a glorious socialist revolution where we fill the reflecting pool with billionaire blood and everyone just magically agrees to get along afterwards.

      What actually happens: millions suffer and die under the thumb of local fascist warlords while foreign powers balkanize the US to ensure we never get anywhere close to the progress we have now.
