    It's not 20 minutes every year. It takes all the air out of the room for the entire interval between elections. It wastes the time of the would be most politically active people for years on end.

    We're already talking about "if you don't vote for Newsome you're voting for Trump"

    Yes, that can be tactically advantageous, depending on your circumstances. Just leave it at that. Don't pour all your energy in electoralism, campaigning and following news around those.

    I agree with you and principal, But do you really believe that if people voted the other way in the last election we wouldn’t be seeing net less suffering right now?

    Well you'd be SEEING less thanks to the likelihood of copmala having way better pr but in reality us of the periphery and USian minorities would still be subject to much the same just with a better spin for the Euro-Americans.

    Remember Obama destroyed Libya. The Clinton's bombed Yugoslavia and Iraq as well as the entire Somali debacle.

    In reality if you see non white suffering as counting odds are the net would be within the error bars if you graphed it.

    Why waste time canvassing and voting and taking part in the system that is from its inception designed to keep you down? Take that time and effort and put it into something meaningful like organising a militant party of those with theoretical grounding to build up a counter power structure and make real change.

    Coming out unprompted against cool uniforms is yet another example of liberals shooting themselves in the foot by rejecting obviously popular ideas out of hand for being too communist and ethnic.
