Until I see a left wing party or organization that is serious about taking power, there is nothing to be done.
There is no organized Left in the US, these are not serious people. They only want some marginal improvements for the workers, a more humane version of capitalism, not seriously planning and strategizing about taking power.
Look at Lenin and Mao, even at their worst moments when the movements had been reduced to mere thousands under endless persecutions, they were already plotting for the end game.
EDIT: I noticed I might have been too harsh since we have some comrades here who are involved in organizational work. You all are doing the best you can, but it doesn’t change the fact that the current structure of left wing organizations do not threaten capital, and do not demonstrate a viable strategy towards taking power.
I’ve been saying this for a long time: we can do self-moderation here on Hexbear if they make all upvotes public, so we know who are the reactionaries instantly.
This will reduce the workload of the mods and also allow some democratic work to be done by the users as well.
It all makes sense now. I always wondered how the heck did my comments get so many upvotes in the news mega.
Maybe do it on Hunter then. Then claim “if you’re not voting for Biden now, you’re selling this country out to Trump”.
In 2004, former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian who was losing in the polls had an assassination attempt on him, took a bullet to the stomach and it was enough to carry him over the finish line.
It has been widely speculated that the assassination attempt was a false flag planned to garner sympathy. The Bidens could think about something similar along the line before the November election.
So MAGA gun nut, national sensation, we must defend our democracy against Trump and his deranged supporters.
Better fascism than the milquetoast left.

Are the Democrats cooked?
It is how people who think they are the Adults in the Room talk.
He’s not going away. You have to think of it as a criminal organization. Biden is not just some figurehead, the Biden family is a brand with its complex network of political and business elites. Even Obama who has retired cannot escape from it, he is still owned by the Wall St elites who now demand that he makes phone calls to his connections and tells them to toe the line.
The primary which never really happened except with a few fringe candidates is a process that allows the brokering and bargaining of these money connections with the presidential nominee. Now it is too late, nobody else except for Hillary Clinton has the political ties deep enough that could match Biden’s, but it is unlikely that the Clintons today have nearly as much political capital as Biden, because of Ukraine.
The fact is that way too much interests have been tied into the Biden presidency, especially with Ukraine being his “masterpiece” involving hundreds of billions of dollars, a lot of people are going to lose their money if the tap is suddenly turned off. They have spent a lot of fortune on “donations” to get their premium seats and access to the tap, and they’re going to be really pissed if they lose the treats they were promised.
The problem of the bourgeoisie with Biden is his senility, but at the end of the day, losing the election is nowhere near as important as maintaining this delicate balance of interests of the political and business elites that own the Democratic Party.
So, the debate will be memory-holed and everyone will just pretend like nothing bad has happened by July 4th. The dissenters (if they were stupid enough to make the noise) would be purged from the power center. Meanwhile, the political machinations of the country will work behind the scene to ensure that Biden gets elected on November.
The funniest outcome is that most of you have seriously overestimated the memory retention capacity of your average American and Biden’s atrocious debate performance will be forgotten by July 4th, and everyone will look at you funny like “wtf are you talking about” when you try to remind them of the debate.
Spoiler: Boeing Starliner launch was canceled the day after.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: by July 4th people will remember Biden’s bad debate performance as merely having a cold. Libs are extremely good at being selective about their memory.
