    Of course in the liberal worldview the only political action is voting and so now that voting is over you go after people who didn’t vote or voted wrong and wait four more years until you can (hopefully) vote again.

    Instead of retreating with your tail between your legs and waiting for another chance to vote join up with those that are taking direct action through protest and political pressure and fucking riots and strikes.

    If more of you joined the anti-genocide voices instead of chanting “vote blue no matter who” your party wouldn’t be the milquetoast status-quo-upholding pro-genocide garbage party it is today.

    You can punch left or you can stand with the left and build up the power to punch back.

      No, but voting for the option that gives you the most leverage is the least you can do. If you can’t even do that, what makes you think you can protect yourself from hostile institutions?
