Crickets lol

what are you actually going to do?

Incriminate yourself for meeeeeee

Also since we both agree your vote is pointless, you aren't doing anything either, so presenting this as if you're coming from a position of action is both ridiculous and hilarious.

Anyway I definitely haven't done any sabotage. I also haven't redistributed food to the houseless nor have I helped unionize a workplace or other stuff. I most certainly haven't organised with other leftists and done local stuff, most certainly not.

No the important thing is that they don't vote for genocide

"yeah man the system is completely broken, which is why I choose to perpetuate it. It's actually a super easy choice, I'm very smart for legitimising this system that I know is broken"

Strategic voting doesn't work though. A representative democracy only functions if you vote for someone you believe represents you, not if you vote for whoever least doesn't. If you do that, you get the choice between genocide and "genocide >:)"
This text is from 1972 and the arguments for strategic voting are the then as it was now. Even back then these arguments were seen as very obviously flawed.

"One more election bro, I swear just one more. One more and then you can vote for a leftist, I promise! We just have to beat [villain of the week]" This was trotted out for Trump, Romney (binders full of women crazy Mormon), Cheney (old man crazy racist), Bush (dubya), Dole (I don't even know how they managed it with this dud of a dude), Bush (senior), Reagan and then some. If strategic voting worked, we'd have seen the results a long time ago.

Your calculus is simple, and you still get it wrong. You don't push the democrats left by voting for them unconditionally, that just pushes republicans further right (and then the Dems follow, because they're right wing and have no votes to lose as long as rubes like you do this shit). You push them left by voting for a leftist party. "Ohhh then my vote is wasted!" If you don't think your vote is wasted on a genocidal dementia patient, then your brain has been replaced by a portobello. Also, to paraphrase one of your ilk from last election, they're electable if you fucking vote for them

Biden? Die then

You owe the 40 hour work week to the unions who advocated for it and the officials who signed it into law. You need both.

words cannot describe how angry reading that made me. It's like it was a CIA sleeper agent activation code, but only for pissing me off. My god, what a fucking ingrained dirt speck of a take. Imagining her saying this to one of the people who fought for those rights"Yeah the people you almost killed and had to pin the arm behind their back in order to get the smallest of concessions were just as vital for this process as you. It HAD to be signed into law, so without them you're nothing, really they did more. They could have done it at any time, but only did it when you forced them to, which means they did it and were necessary. I understand how power works I am very smart." what the fuck.
THEY WERE PRESSURING ELECTED OFFICIALS BECAUSE THEY HELD THE REINS OF POWER NOT BECAUSE OF SOME INHERENT LAW OF NATURE THAT REQUIRES THE OFFICIALS PRESENCE THE SOVIETS KILLED THE TZAR FOR PEACE LAND AND BREAD AND FUCKING GOT IT. What an immense fucking copout "oh since a large state needs administrators then" AHHHHHHH The people who signed this shit into law didn't do it because they were fearing for reelection, they did it because they didn't want a revolution or to get shot. They could've done this at any time, but didn't, so they're not necessary for the process.

GOOD post. Mods please ban this user for being funnier than me

No it's kinda funny

Oh I agree (for the most part) and I don't think it's really comparable because one is a voluntarily produced piece of media intended for fun and the other is labour. In my leftist utopia there's still 19 types of peanut butter, but it's because we all have a lot of free time and we all disagree on what constitutes as "chunky" wether or not you're allowed to add anything to the butter (like sugar) and how oily it should be.

Don't watch Disney

Except for Robin Hood.

Otherwise yeah, i think I agree. Kids shouldn't be started off with political theory or overt political fiction. they should start off with compassion, love, beauty and adventure. I credit large amounts of my radicalisation to two concepts I learned at a young age: Compassion is a core part of being human, we need to be kind to each other and the world is a beautiful place, we need to preserve it.
It's basically Kringsat Av Fjender, an old norwegian song
