FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

According to this logic, the US has been a fascist state since WW2 due to its creation of and unwavering support for Israel.

... yes??? yess???!!

And when we had slavery?? (which we continue to have now in our prisons)

And we do torture,

and we assassinate black people when they organize,

we have a huge military worship culture,

and we have so many territories and military bases abroad and have funded so many horrible dictators

How are you not seeing it? Honestly?

Sure. So what do you propose to do next?

The context of this thread is that you're specifically labelling Joe Biden a fascist. Why single him out if it's the whole system and everyone in it?

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Exactly, why vote for him? Vote for a third party candidate and stop voting in fascists.
