    Which is why people shouldn’t vote. Don’t participate in a sham vote, don’t vote for genocidal maniacs.

      No you should vote, but you should also engage in civil disobedience, and at some point uncivil disobedience.

        I disagree. There is 0 incentive for the democratic party to not fudge primaries/caucuses in order to run hawks like Clinton or Biden if all they have to be is slightly less fascist than Trump in order to still be voted in. If the last week have shown anything its that it wasnt the marches with literally hundrerds of thousands in attendance, but people threatening to withhold their vote, that got the upper echelons of the party sweating. But people have to be prepared to make good on their threats if they want to be taken seriously.

          You know ‘the oppressed of the world’ would not be so oppressed if the progressive left of the US had a long free reign over policy and if other countries stopped putting utter shitcunts into power. Looking at you China and Russia.

            The “progressive left” that is being headed by Genocide Joe?? I wouldn’t bet on it…

              No the actual progressive left.

              I’m beginning to realise that you’re a troll and am going to stop feeding you.

                  He’s the only viable candidate in the field. He has a lifetime of experience and is overall a reasonable person.

                    I believe we have reached the end of what can be said based on facts. If you think that genocide joe, despite his fervent zionism, despite his enthusiastic support for the ongoing ethnic cleansing in palestine, even finding ways around congress to support it, that he still is a reasonable candidate who would help the left in the US get to a position of power where they can enact meaningful change, even though you agree he isn’t a progressive leftist that would do anything a leftist person would do, then I dont know what else I have to say.

                    Have a nice slide into fascism while voting for harm reduction that never seems to come.
