          Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you saying your position is “don’t vote don’t resist”? Because that’s what this sounds like.

            “don’t vote don’t resist”

            I think @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social is genuine in wanting resistance, but is failing to see that in practice it will mean no resistance. I never said electoralism is all we need. I am saying that it is a form of organizing and one that bring credibility to our movement. It shows numbers and willingness to act in a way that is political and explicit in its goals.

              How do you organize in a system meant to disorganize⸮

              I think you’re unwilling to directly organize outside of the systems that oppress us. You keep adamantly avoiding my questions, as if I do not see how 🇺🇲 has historically genocided Leftists. Our goals have been explicit from the start, yet, how did you treat us?

              Again, what are the Leftist party in 🇺🇲 I can “vote for”?

                    You have literally asked why we don’t have a party and you have spent the thread telling me you wouldn’t vote for it. Can’t have a movement if people no show for it. Part of how you organize is elections. Anyway its getting tedious to repeat the point I am making, so unless you have something real to add this is going to be the last reply.

          Wait, you legit believe popular votes actually elect presidents‽

          Doesn’t matter. It is a form of organizing. And if you have the popular vote it is also obvious and the momentum is there to force a change by popular uprising.

          Are you going to join me in demolishing one?

          I am questioning your commitment to organizing to take one down. Can’t even get you to show up to a lower stakes polling place, but you are going to lay siege to a fortified camp? Sure bud.
