Alt text: A tweet from Erica, the white trash socialist, stating: "Liberals: no one working 40 hours a week should live in poverty. Leftists: No one should live in poverty regardless of their ability to perform labor."

Leftists really need to drop the "Holier than thou" ego. Like many social-democrats have their political worldview specifically because they are/have vulnerable people in their life.

Like I want stronger, higher societal floors built from recycled pieces of ceiling. I want a society that is built to support people from the bottom not control people from the top. I don't want my standard of living to be held up by the backs of other people sacrificing their lives, domestic or abroad.

Everyone trying to divide voters left of center are either misguided or misguiding.

    There's a pretty hard attempt at making voting irrelevant by the right. I think this proves, that voting matters. I do however not fully blame you if you got disillusioned by voting, due to liberals masquerading as leftists.

    Or the left beong ratfucked constantlu.

    The whole harris thing. I worked with that monster's victims for years. Trans women that shit pig put in the rape gulag. Then i see them choosing it as their presidential candidate because it's its turn. Then being yelled at because i couldn't support it or a party that would do that. Nope. Not bothering with bourgoise electoralism again. The investiture of power in a non-revocable idiot is already a compromise, the culture is more toxic than watching 'rick and morty' at the afterparty of a 'tool' concert. Im done.

    Yeah, if you don't do it it doesn't work, duh.
    But if you can get enough power to do whatever you mean by more, you can just use it to elect whomever you want, and if you can't do even that, than you don't have any power.
    All this talks about "stop voting better do my version of firebombing wallmart" just reveals that you want to do your version of firebombing wallmart and don't actually want meaningful changes politically

    elect whomever you want

    I dont think anyone suould be invested with that kind of power, and compromising on that seems to always end in epic ratfuck or betrayal that feels like straight up diablous ex machina. If you remember that time we elected a charismatic community organizer from w rough neighborhood, the time we elected the kinda tech literate environmentalist former vp, or the various sanders campaigns here in the states.

    Not just that, but compromising with the bourgouse american electoral version always seems to end with betrayal that makes the bolsheviks look like steadfast loyal friends in comparison.
