        the past hundred plus years of electoral politics really beg for the concept to be taken seriously, imagine voting in the most important election of your lifetime every 2-4 years for your entire life only to watch things get progressively worse anyway even when the “good” guys win, because even their best and wildest pipe dream policies if enacted amounted to about jack and shit

        can’t wait for the hope and joy Harris/Walz administration to finally forgive student loan debt for a small subset of borrowers who open and run a business in a disadvantaged community for 3 years! can you imagine being one of the three dozen people that amazing legislation would help??

        oh, wait, I’m sorry, the parliamentarian is probably going to tell them ‘no you can’t do that’ again and we will just have to grin and bear it, for the sake of civility

          I take the concept seriously, but not you clowns.

          If you cared about leftism as much as you cared about proper communication maybe people would listen to what you have to say.

          But unfortunately you spam memes and reaction images instead of having a proper discussion and everybody tunes you out.

                If you want to vote for someone who supports genocide, you do you pal. Maybe someday you’ll realize that democracy in America is a sham and voting doesn’t matter. But that requires doing the bare minimum amount of your own research, which you seem to be vehemently opposed to.

                I recommend reading Noam Chomsky’s manufacturing consent. Once you understand how you’re manipulated by the government and media, then you may be ready for some communist theory.

                So genuinely, do you think you’ve changed anyone’s mind today? If not, why are you wasting this energy?

                why are you wasting your energy legitimizing a bourgeois government that does almost quite literally nothing for you when you could also choose to 1) not waste your fucking time and 2) radicalize others against this absolutely horrendous system?

                you dumb motherfuckers are going to go all in on HARRIS WALZ HOPE AND JOY and shit because you’re incapable of learning from previous mistakes. It’s wild how this shit just happens over and over and over and over again and you stupid motherfuckers just keep playing along. Like absolutely wild how brainless you all are.

                I’m just going to sit back and watch China continue to eclipse the entirety of western civilization at an exponential rate every year, unless you rabid, bloodthirsty pieces of shit condone nuclear war against them first

                oh no all my energy, all my vital essence, it’s fled me because I’ve trolled some shit-lib who, despite literally decades of evidence to the contrary, is clinging to the hope of electoralism saving us despite witnessing its constant failures

                can’t wait to argue with you in 4 years over the next issuance of red/blue fascism, because you’re too fucking stupid to notice there’s very little difference. “oh no the republicans want you dead” yeah and the neoliberals in the Democratic party don’t give a shit if you are or not either.

                you’d think shit like Newsom going all in on clearing the homeless would clue you people in but jesus fucking christ you are ignorant as fuck, literally incapable of engaging with politics beyond what you saw on MSNBC today

          My state hasn’t approved De la Cruz for the ballot, I could write her in. I’m not sure how busy I’ll be that day though so it’s hard to predict what I’ll have time for.

            As a fellow nonbinary person, I’m disappointed you’re willing to step aside and let fascists strip away rights of LGBTQIA minorities.

            I hope that De la Cruz vote works out for you.

              If you’re trans and not a communist you need to spend more time engaging with your fellow queers who are poor and working class. And read more Marx.

              Also why do you think I’m stepping aside and letting the fascists hurt minorities? You said nothing to substantiate that. You just said I was doing that. Care to explain?

                I won’t, because you know why I said it.

                Go to a local queer munch and share these ideas with your fellow minorities, interested to hear your results.

                Meanwhile I’m voting for the party that doesn’t want me dead.

                Good luck with that De la Cruz vote, I’m actually laughing super hard at that one, it’s very clever.

                    we’re just substantially more politically educated than shitlib queers like you.

                    I don’t doubt that but your people skills are lacking if you change people’s minds by calling them “shitlibs” and telling them you’re substantially more educated than they are.

                    A lot of people on these boards with your ideology but the 4chan baby talk and meme spam makes it hard to take you seriously.

                  PSL also does not want you dead. I’m confused, I thought you wanted dialogue. I’m genuinely not sure what you mean. You can not believe me if you want but you haven’t given any reason for what you’re claiming.

                    Alright then we can continue this new thread.

                    Does the PSL have any chance of winning this year’s election?

                    Heck I didn’t know De la Cruz was running in that party.

              you mean the ones which have been eroded significantly with Biden in the white house?? huh, wow, let me think about that for half a second…

              I hope that De la Cruz vote works out for you.

              hope voting for Hindenburg works out for you, Weimar German Liberal!
