Liberalism is when you believe in voting against fascism to lessen the burdens on engaging in actual leftist action, I guess.

Extremely dire turbolib statement here, RIP

    PTB

    Despite this being one of the things i disagree with Pug on, voting for Kamala Harris was objectively the correct choice last election.

    The way we escape the Duopoly is to abandon it, but there were no viable 3rd party choices.

    Also none of what I said so far can justify the moderation decisions made. Censoring this kind of speech is a bad look for the anarcho-communist community.

      I think the thing a lot of people are missing is that abandoning the duopoly, or any other major political reform, is NOT a “just vote in this one election bro I swear” deal. These things take time. Sometimes a lot of time. And until that time where it happens, you need to spend each election thinking “how is this going to affect progress towards our goal”. And allowing trump to win did nothing but push us closer to having a republican monopoly. See all those news articles of local government republicans in power suddenly starting to host town hall meetings that are republican only.

        I don’t like him or want him in charge, but if Trump wasn’t elected in 2024 then he would have been in 2028.

        The upside is trump getting elected probably spurs more apathetic people to get involved than continuing to slowly boil the frog.

        Same thing happened after 2016, the Republicans got fucked in the midterms.

          Third party presidential candidate from… I firget which party, the kinda-socialistish one i think. I heard someone responding to a lib saying we should have fallen in line behind their ghoul with turning the argument around, and stole the fuck out of it. Its a great reminder that ‘unity’ does not mean ‘do whatever the libs want at all times’.
