hi, I ended up here in the US as a result of a right wing coup in my home country. I have had relatives with first hand experience of war, civil war, famine. it's not something I take lightly which is why I am so appalled at the Democrats treating Palestinians like they're expendible.

We don't have a popular vote, due to how the system is arranged my vote hasn't once mattered in decades of electoral participation. You're kidding yourself about the influence of the fediverse if you think my comments had any impact.

I'm apathetic about voting, I'm actually extremely active organizing in my community against this shit. I find the people scolding about votes while doing fuck-all otherwise to be the ones making it worse.

this is not a war, it's been America helping the colonial occupation empty its largest concentration camp

they could have just stopped sending unlimited bombs to that genocidal occupation, but they chose to anyways in spite of all evidence that it was going to cost them the election.

it would be nice if they actually decide to have primaries next time, I'm not holding out hope that elections are going to save us

Even in a garunteed blue state, action I spires action. Discourse even to just a handful, has an echoing effect to someone who can male a difference.

It was the democrats participating in a genocide for over a year in advance of the election that had the 'echoing effect' of making people not want to vote for their disgusting asses. Just being realistic, a trans anarchist in a blue state not voting for bomber harris has literally zero impact on how anyone else voted.

But you lot lack any strategic vision or foresight.

You're the one acting like scolding people over votes while the gestapo is roaming the streets is accomplishing anything i-cant

It was never about being allies with the liberals.

They're not credible opposition.

city government: run by suburban car lovers, absolutely intractable, getting bike or bus lanes might as well be happening on the moon

state government: run by liberals who largely run near or entirely un-opposed. They do good things sometimes, but are simultaneously incapable of forcing municipalities to do good things, and roll over the feds when pressed. For example, no resistance to the fucked up ICE kidnapping campaign that's still going on.

National government is a hot mess and voting in my state has had a zero percent chance of influencing it in every election I've been alive for.

"democracy"

This is the same guy who was like "I wanted so hard to believe it wasn't someone from here that did it" Seems like he really wants an outside threat to demonize, surely people won't fall for that- oh right never mind lmao
