      you can plan your revolution and also vote, just in case it doesn’t work. they are not mutually exclusive.

      I’ve been hearing variations of this line from Western tankies for at least 15 years now. And I’m quite sure it was going on long before I got into politics.

      It’s almost like it’s all a LARP.

      The (correct) leftist message is that voting is the bare minimum someone can do and that we should do more (like protest, join community organizations, and sure even revolt) but the takeaway isn’t “don’t vote” it’s “don’t just vote.”

      You can go all sovcit and pretend the state doesn’t matter just because you are anti-state (a valid position to have) but you’re still going to experience state violence whether or not you think you should.

      Compared to Trump when it comes to listening to reasonable suggestions about Palestine, I’d say Kamala is all ears.

        I’m hungry, but I prefer when the lettuce is placed on top of the bacon when I make a BLT so thanks for offering but I think I’ll take the option to bob for shit out of a porta potty.
