  • Most of .ml and hexbear and other “tankies” are vocally saying they’re going to vote someone else like de la cruz or west (or not at all). All of those same people can’t respond to the fact that if they want third party viability then need to 1)make sure voting remains a thing (aka vote harris this election)and 2) work to get something other than ftfp voting and work hard to get progressives in the primary3) don’t expect quick change because the system is set up to maintain a status quo which means a lot of willpower is needed for changes.

    1. is obvious I think. Palestinian genocide should not be supported by our country but Harris has at least talked willingness to pull netanyahu back somewhat. Rs want to let netanyahu be further unhinged in his genocide, let putin commit a Ukrainian genocide, then start a new one at home starting with the Trans and quickly spreading to other lgbtq, Latinos and whatever the outgroup of the hour is.

    2. basically the main driver behind this two party divide. RCV is why Alaska, home of Sarah Palin has a democratic house representative. I know people talk about other systems too, what I know is just about anything is better than the FTFP we currently have.

    3. Before '08 politicians hadn’t seriously considered M4A. Now what we got, the ACA/Obamacare hasn’t been good but is a hell of a lot better than what we had before.

    Better than what we had is basically the aim. Rs and billionaires have been playing that game for themselves since before Reagan and are why we’re in a sea of shit. We’re not going to magically fly out of the shit into a socialist utopia, it is a long slog back to a shore of reason then trekking to somewhere better. All I’m saying is voting can’t be the lone basis of fixing our system but is a bare minimum to keep a system in place. A revolution is only nice on paper and it’s just as likely the “bad guys” win.

    My lawyer just called and asked if I was ready for court tomorrow. Said hell, yeah, I ain’t goin’ see I been spending the last 6 months booby trapping my entire 500 acres. I got snake pits, rolling logs, bear traps, I got some straight up Indiana Jones shit. I got a fucking boulder that’ll fall down when you open my front door. 120 coyotes that I trained to bite anything with a crew cut and a badge. I flew an old Vietnamese man or here, he helped me dig about 12 miles worth of underground tunnels. I have 450 cameras. I’ve rigged the solar panels all around this motherfucker. I got a Bengal tiger locked in my fucking bathroom who’d kill for a pork chop right now. You know it’s surprisingly easy to teach a raccoon how to loosen log nuts and cut brake lines. If rather live the rest of my life in these woods living of fucking wild ginseng and creek water than go to fucking jail one more time. I don’t even try bringing no helicopters round here neither like I got a whole fucking coop of pigeons with c4 tied around their feets got a bunch of pvc pipe filled with gunpowder and ball bearings and a baboon who is deadly accurate with a nail gun.
