And no one is saying you need to join the party.

i mean yeah including me, cause i didn't say that. i even said i vote in democrat primaries; if someone shitty wins the dem primary (like usual) then them winning the state is already a fait accompli. i don't see what's the goal of demanding i vote for them or display 'loyalty' at that point.

You are functionally saying that there is opposition so you are just folding.

no i am saying that if democrat politicians would rather arrest my comrades than stand up to trump, they are not people i am going to support. rather than participating in an electoral charade around these kinds of people i would rather engage in direct action with other likeminded people to embarrass them and highlight their supreme cowardice. trying to invoke communist terms in order to get me to support people that are manifestly not communists is not going to sway me.

it is still a point of privileged for you.

nowhere have i said not to vote, i probably vote more regularly than most of these blue maga cultists.

however, it's just a waste of time and effort to try to sway a bunch of suburban hitlers to vote for someone that doesn't suck ass. i prefer to work outside of electoral politics with people that don't take that level of convincing. i also sincerely think that working outside of electoral politics is a better strategic decision than putting any effort into a party that would rather see me dead.

what good is living in a blue state if your spineless democratic government is doing whatever trump says in advance? not to mention how they've been allowing fascist goon squads to kidnap people off the street.
