    Pretty much. Vote for whoever you want, just don’t pretend it actually does much of anything. I’ll take a hardworking comrade who voted for biden over someone who refused to vote but also refuses to do any other political activity or organizing work, but I completely respect anyone who can’t stomach voting for biden, or says its pointless, because it is. As long as you take that lesson and start doing more than just light charity and doorknocking for democrats.

      watching some of this a new movement wont materialise out of thin air accompanied with ps vote blue ✌️ is pretty funny, theyre not perfect but there are socialist orgs in the states worth getting excited about.

      Drooling for the democrats is some intense american exceptionalist, defend tradition bullshit if I ever saw it… I would personally love to know what kind of on the ground local organising Nat does lol, organising an interview with a war criminal doesnt count 💅

        Yeah exactly, their solution is to deride, or to ignore the existence of, all alternatives to blue maga, and then say “you have no alternative I don’t see you starting a movement” type shit. I’d respect shilling for fucking DSA way more than this, and DSA kinda sucks.
