        Neither will a lib. They’ll “strategically” vote for some gross fascist and then directly act to have brunch. Same thing as a tankie basically. Just different imperial branding.

      You know that you can strategically vote liberal

      There would have to be a strategy in voting against your own interests. It’s actively voting for bad things so worse things maybe don’t happen? That’s your strategy?

        Correct. At present, the outcomes at the ballot box are “bad” and “worse”. Of the two, “bad” is preferable. “Good” will require non-electoral direct action.

          How many decades of voting for the lesser of two evils do you people need before you realize that is just allowing things to get progressively worse?

            How many decades of turning up your nose at the lesser evil do you people need before you realize that just makes things worse faster?

                Who is “y’all”? What exactly do you think is “something productive” and what are you doing, besides making things worse through electoral misinformation?

                  The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. But sure, y’all voting for evil helps too.

              If it gets blue MAGA libs to actually start doing something productive instead of whining that they can’t ignore politics anymore, then I’m on team acclerationism.

                So just to clarify, you’re perfectly fine sacrificing the millions of vulnerable people who will suffer and die under accelerationism, in exchange for the gamble that maybe your ideology might get more popular. And you have the gall to call libs “blue MAGA”?

                This isn’t a game, people have already died because of this. Maybe crawl out of your bubble long enough to think about the outcomes of your gambits.

          Look where that got us. It’s a bad strategy and needs to be retired.

            Is it truly a bad strategy? Or is there much less direct action than what’s needed?

            It being a bad strategy and also the best available strategy are not mutually exclusive. No presently actionable strategy has a better outcome.

              So there’s no strategy that has a better outcome than Trump’s second term? You sure about that?
