This meme template is pure gold. Cuts all ways :chefs-kiss:
They do said Democrat aren’t left at all, and the real left is anarchy or something.
Well that’s true. It’s just that anarchists prefer the centrist party over the openly fascist party, because we don’t want to live in a fourth reich.
Correctimundo!
I’ve been told the true leftists would rather live under fascism dejure then compromise their morals by lending any support to the democrats.
Yep, the Russian trolls sure are saying that a lot
Thank you for saying this. I’m so tired of them gaslighting every conversation pretending like they aren’t bottom feeders crawling out of the sewers every election cycle.
“No true Scotsman…”
Anarchists prefer to not waste time by putting so much fucking energy into electoral politics. Vote, if you want (I’m not your Boss), but don’t spend sooo much time into electoralism.
It’s a small amount of energy to materially affect the environment in which you expend real energy on your praxis of choice. If you’re not enthusiastically voting at least lesser evil, you’re hamstringing your own praxis.
don’t tell me what to do
I didn’t, just described the consequences
I’m not talking about the act of voting itself. I’m talking about discussions, canvassing and campaigning for some lesser evil candidate.
Why? You’re the only one taking about that. I’m talking about the act of voting itself.
Just because you don’t want to see all that excess energy doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.
I’m confused as to what other people do with their time and money has to do with you. Your statement was that anarchists don’t want to spend the energy engaging with electorialism, other people engaging with it to the point of canvassing and donations doesn’t force you to. All you have to do is vote, and recommend others vote if it comes up.
WTF does my enthusiasm or lack thereof have to do with it.
Enthusiasm encourages others to follow suit.
Look, I’m already gritting my teeth and doing what needs to be done to keep Trump out of office and now liberals want to loudly complain that I’m not enthusiastic enough about it. If anything short of enthusiastic support for another corporate dem will lead us into fascism, then it’s already fucking here.
It literally is already fucking here and we need to stop it from getting more power. It has already taken over part of the government. You throwing up your hands and giving up is not helping this fight.
Reread my comment again, it’s only 2 sentences. No one’s “loudly complaining”.
As if the mere act of voting is the only energy being put into electoralism.
I’m going to be scrolling memes and shitposting either way because it’s how I relax. I think my fun should be socially conscious instead of only being about me. I should spend time doing good for others if it costs nothing.
The real left is much more like Europe than what the democrats do in America. Our Overton window has been rocketing right for 40 years and now apparently I’m an anarchist or something for wanting more from my government like actually taxing rich people and actually then using that money on healthcare education and housing, employment rights, and other social programs.
Vote blue no matter who means we are always compromising to the center which means we are always moving more right. The very fact that we aren’t getting a primary and voting for basically a cop after years of acab has my skin crawling. Am I voting for her, yes. But to be told to shut up and be happy about it and having any other vocal opinions is absolutely horse shit.
All you “waaaaah I hate compromising” people during Democratic primaries: cricket cricket

There was very obviously no time for an open primary this election. Now talk about literally every single other election in recent history.

This may blow your mind, but France is an entirely different country from the US, with an entirely different structure of government.

Oh but ensign crab recently told me she’s a progressive and that’s why people are excited?
With the republican party going full fascist yeah it’s probably a good idea not to vote for them.
At any level much less the fuckin presidency.
But that means voting for an genocidal imperialist who’d rather keep pushing that pro-capitalist agenda and sucking up to Fortune500 companies. ~Some leftist, probably (/s)
A lot of leftists are claiming real leftists don’t vote lately.
