    On the contrary, voting helps install your enemy of choice. I’d rather fight Democrats than Republicans, and I vote accordingly. Actual progress requires non-electoral action, but electoral action makes that fight more favorable.

      You wanna pick and choose between all the different flavors of suck go right ahead. I’m not wasting my time voting for these idiots.

          There’s no actual evidence that the DNC treats leftists any differently. Both parties did the Red Scare, both parties root out communists, both parties bomb and sanction socialist countries.

          Oh yeah, I’m totally making things harder for everybody else 🙄

          “We’re on the same side” my ass. Fuck the Democrats.

            Yes, because everything is easier for the left when Republicans are in power 🙄. I swear, it’s going to be easier to radicalize liberals than to convince you lot to stop shooting yourselves in the foot. Have fun circle jerking over your ideological purity, I guess. We’ll be over here actually trying to make things better, if you feel like helping.

                Uh, are you feeling okay? What you just posted is devastating to your point. I’m saying to try to keep the ratchet on the stationary stage line enough to actually push left, you’re saying “Lol just let it spin right”. This is so incredibly stupid, what idiot thought that the ratchet effect supports such a stupid argument? I feel like I’m in a room full of toddlers shouting nonsense catchphrases.

                  Democrats block movement back to the left. It says it right there.

                  But anyways… have fun cosplaying as a leftist, Lib.

                    And what, you just believe some low effort analogy as gospel? Weak.

                    I said, that voting helps you choose your enemy. An enemy that obstructs the left is obviously better than an enemy that obstructs the left and pushes right. This is a very simple concept, why don’t you get it? Why are you making more work for us?

                    I was wrong, we aren’t on the same side. I’m on the side of leftist progress, you’re on the side of sanctimonious virtue signaling. That’s peak cosplay.

                    Grown ups make decisions that further their goals, even when it takes time and effort. They don’t spend all their time complaining about things being hopeless. Grow up.
