So you just want to overthrow the government? I'm not saying I'm opposed to it, but I'd want to know what your plan is for if you actually mobilize a resistance.

Genuinely, yes. That is the only way to stop the US Empire and achieve Socialism.

The shortest possible answer is orrganizing with leftist parties and building up Dual Power, ie comparable democratic institutions that can readily-replace the existing state structure. Imperialism brings about the death of Capitalism, eventually this decline will result in a shift to revolution, so having an organized group at the time of revolution ready to help guide that revolution and establish Socialism rather than barbarism is what's important for Leftists.

There's a lot of theory on the subject you can read, but you can also look at the Party Programs of FRSO and PSL.

Ok but in the meantime, can we all agree to vote for the person who isn't a convicted felon? And a rapist? And a racist? And a fascist? And a xenophobe? And an insurrectionist? And like twelve other things that should disqualify him from office? Surely we can agree that, in the absence of overthrowing of the most powerful government in history, that at the very least we should do what we can to keep Donald Trump out of the driver's seat?

Yep, that's why I'm voting for Claudia De La Crúz. She's none of those, Kamala is most of those.

Gotcha. Sorry to have wasted my time talking with you.

Sorry to whom, you or me? What was your goal, exactly, where you think your time was wasted? It's just a Lemmy convo.
