If "stop supporting genocide" isn't the first step, then what the fuck is? I can't think of a lower bar, but I'm told it's actually a "purity test".

Genuinely speaking the people crying about MAGA being a cult are acting cultish by expecting you to vote for someone who is openly promising to maintain genocide; MAGA is now openly saying they don't care about all the evil stuff Trump has done, and blue MAGA are saying they don't care if their favorite lib candidate is going to maintain genocide.

If Adolf had been an actual socialist, and the guy he was running against was literally satan, would they actually say the solution here is to vote holocaust no matter who?

Democrats and Republicans aren't actually against each other, they pretend to be two different parties as it is an effective psy-op to keep the populace believing in a Reformist path to change, so we do not pursue a Revolutionary path instead. As long as the populace continues to believe a Reformist path (like voting) is able to save them, the Capitalists can continue doing what ever they want, only Revolution can save us (IE we must save ourselves by overthrowing the Capitalists), and only once the people in general realize this, can Revolution actually succeed. It is also why we must keep pointing out to people how the system is rigged against us, how as long as we live in Capitalism Democracy is a lie and the oppression and exploitation and U.S. bombings will continue.

This "Good" Cop / "Bad" Cop routine has been going on for decades. Both parties are still cops and ACAB.

Just to be clear, Cops being bad is not an inherent property of them in and of itself, but rather Cops serve the State, and in a Capitalist country, the State serves Capital, and so the Cops also serve Capital, but in a Socialist country, such as China, the Cops are completely different as the State actually serves the interest of the overall masses, and so the Cops also by extension.

I remember when they were trying to endorse Mike Bloomberg the republican billionaire.
