The midterms were a clear sign that the Trump admin is hated by the people. However, this cannot be confused as support for the Democrats. Democrats are very nearly as unpopular as Republicans, which is why Trump 2 even happened in the first place. The Democrats, like the Republicans, are under the domination of billionaires. Different billionaires, sure, but billionaires all the same. The genocides in Cuba and Palestine will not be lifted by the same party that worked across the aisle to facilitate in the first place.

We need an entirely different system. A socialist system. The Democrats will never give us a system that is run by the people, where housing isn't a commodity, where healthcare and medicine are free for all, where education isn't just paid for socially, but open to all people to continue even later in life to help facilitate career changes, where we no longer have hundreds of millitary bases around the world keeping the people in terror.

We need to get there, and it won't come from the ballot box. We need a revolution. Revolution isn't just something you do, or something that falls into your lap. It happens when there is a large, revolutionary socialist party, a class conscious working class, and a crisis in the capitalist class. We can directly contribute to the first two by getting involved with a socialist party. Both Freedom Road Socialist Organization and the Party for Socialism and Liberation have two tiers of membership, general membership which is low commitment in time and money, and cadre membership, which requires significant time and money. See which is more active near you (almost certainly PSL, but varies), and consider joining the general membership!

Educate!

Agitate!

Organize!

    I never told people not to vote. I told people that reformism will never establish socialism, and that socialism is necessary. The Democrats winning is not a victory for the working class, it's a defeat of the Republican wing of the capitalist class. Framing this as a working class victory is shortsighted. The democrats will never and can never put the power in the people's hands, which is why socialism is necessary.

    Odd to use a misogynistic term paired with a genocidal war criminal as a response after you tried to defame me by lying about my stances.
