    A) You are useless. B) You don't have a clue where anyone is sitting or what their contributions are, you just want a convenient excuse to ignore valid criticism and you're more than happy to make shit up to discredit your critics. Trump would be proud.

    You are right, I have no idea where he's sitting. He could be in his mom's attic, or maybe even the guest bedroom. I don't know his contributions, but I do know that he's just roleplaying a revolutionary, because he hasn't named one building that he's burnt down. Hell, I'll take a billboard or something

    If you don't know his contributions then your assertion that he's "roleplaying" is a baseless accusation, one that you're making specifically and exclusively to delegitimize his entirely valid criticism. Also burning a billboard down would do jack shit to disempower the current government or aid in organizing resistance, and admitting to such an action online or anywhere else would obviously be terrible opsec, you're either an incurable moron or a fucking fed.

    Big King Shit of Toilet Town telling me I'm nobody here lmfao

    Do a revolution, don't do a revolution, I don't care at this point. No amount of ban hammering is going to change the fact that online arguments against other people on the left are entirely politically ineffectual. You can internalize that statement and decide to make some change in the real world, or you can keep grasping at what little facsimile of authority you can in tiny little online communities that you make yourself. But you're not even a mod here; we're equals in this community. If you don't like me speaking truth to your non-power, then block me already.

    And if I'm wrong, and you are actually organizing in your community, and you do actually use your votes strategically, good. Ignore me. I'm some random on the internet, I should not be able to get under your skin this easily

    ETA: What bugs me the most about this argument is that we agree on more than we don't. This just comes down to anti-electoralism. It's fine to be anti-electoralist, but if you limit your political efforts to just arguing with other leftists online, you're doing nothing. I'm not going to vote third party in '28 unless there's a damn good chance they beat Trump. If it's a repeat of the last 24 elections, then it's a race between The Party That Wants Smallpox Back and The Party That Doesn't Want Smallpox Back, and allowing the former to win just because you don't like all of the policies of the latter is a fantastic way to die of fucking smallpox.

    Maybe you should spend less time in your little secret clubhouse making fun of other leftists, and start actually making political progress. Like, Mamdani isn't gonna win NYC by having a bunch of fans secretly get together and make fun of everyone who votes for him

    Although it would actually make my day if you told me that Mamdani is just as bad as Adams or Cuomo

    generally useless and spineless

    You are useless and spineless. You do not do any actual revolution, any actual overthrowing, you sit there and talk the talk but you aren't willing to actually walk the walk.

    You don't have a clue what actions I or anyone else here are taking and you don't actually care, you're just another spineless liberal looking for an easy excuse to ignore valid criticism by making shit up to discredit your critics

    I do have a clue lol. The clue that they're all still alive. You're doing nothing. I do my part to further political causes in the real world situations. You sit here online, talking without participating in real world organization.

    Don't get me wrong. If you were actually doing something, I support that in full. But you aren't.

    That's hilarious that you think that a paranoid schizophrenic who calls everyone who he dislikes a fed has any say in what's believable
