An ultra-liberal article that reduces politics to voting and lets Dems off the hook for their pro-fossil-fuels policies. The greenwashing nature of solar subsidies and telling people to recycle are working well to cover for Dems that are pro-fracking, sic cops on Keystone XL protestors, turn the US into a net exporter of oil and gas, expand their imperialist military to the point that if it were a country it would be a top-10 emitter (not to mention those who it destroys), and launching/escalating a trade war at Chinese solar panels, leqding to massive shortages and massively delayed installations in the US.
There are a ton of things we should be doing to push Democrats. But not today — to even have a chance of any kind of activism to work, we need to elect them first.
You will have a chance for activism under any election result. I recommend starting that work ASAP so that you can be grounded in your expectations.
Being unrealistic about who Democrats are will not help with any of these things, either. It can only serve to create a false sense of what is to come.
Correct. That's why I voted for Harris; because she's better than Trump.
If Trump wins, I hope you are personally a victim of the regime. I hope your actions have fucking consequences.
Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
"Anarchist" instance btw.
Frankly, I find that saying to be a downright lie. MLs aren't leftists.
The person invested in electoralism for capitalist genociders is here to tell us who is and who is not "leftist", the most milquetoast of terms.
