    Yeah I really don’t understand these posts, and there is a LOT of them. It almost seems like propaganda from the right to help them win again.

    “Don’t bother voting! Your only solution is full on revolution!” revolution does not happen “Oh shit, he got in again”

    Like fine, if you want to plan a revolution, go plan a revolution - that does not mean you stop participating in this system entirely while you’re figuring it out. People NOT voting is how we got into this damn mess (again) to begin with. We don’t need to discourage even MORE people from voting.

      The way people voted or not did not cause the mess the US Empire is in, capitalism did, as well as it’s evolution into imperialism and now the decay of imperialism. This is just standard leftism.
