      apologies if this isn’t the place for this, but after bernie lost his nomination, I had become disenfranchised and sat out 2 elections. Now I’m seeing all the work that went into making me feel disenfranchised as mechanisms to control my vote; I don’t understand it, but if so much work is going into controlling peoples ability to vote… it must matter more than I can comprehend.

          my saying “revolution is actually better, proceeds to never do revolution”

          Saying this in isolation, is painting all anti-electoralists with as do-nothings and paints non-electoralist praxis as ineffective. If you don’t want to violate rule 7, word things more accurately.

              You did say it isolation. You randomly shared this statement just to pile-in.

              maybe I would have been better to say “dual power is better, proceeds to never attempt to build dual power”

              It’s the same thing with different phrasing. So not better.

              Obviously it’s hyperbole, one that violates rule 7, given that it shames anti-electoralism.
