Lol. Someone doesnt understand geopolitics.

We have an open trade agreement with israel. They want to buy, we say how much. I never said i supported it, but if ur curious ive been railing against the apartheid state for 15 years now simce back before i was a leftist. Doesnt change that there is no candidate thatd be capable of ending that policy on a whim.

Given that 2016 was decided by 20k votes spread across three states, id say that yeah, every person on Lemmy might swing the election.

The spoiler effect is real, and ur not going to get a chance for third party candidates to ever matter if the raging turnip were to win.

If Biden ceased supporting israel, our remaining allies would be all the more disillusioned with our fickle ass nature and our soft powers would plummet.

Guarantee you, if we had a president Sanders, 70 senators would be tripping over themselves to pass Israeli aid and overturning any of his executive orders while calling him an antisemite.

They recommend nothing at all.

Remember comrades,

-Direct action (strike, strike, strike, preferably imo, and hold ur surplus value hostage)

-Mutual aid

-Voting to ensure you can pursue the first 2 with minimal govt interference

All are acceptable avenues. All are necessary. None are mutually exclusive.

Youre talking about neolib politicians. You should be pursuing direct action for the changes u seek. Your vote is there as damage control to ensure we can still pursue other avenues of change or mutual aid without persecution.

“Support genocide” in this case means not abandoning a 70 year ally when our other allies are already worried we are fickle and support or dont support them based on whos in charge every 4 years.

Under dump Eastern Europe gets trampled and the rest of Europe gets pulled into open war.

We will not teach democrats accountability by throwing our democracy down the pisser to spite them and never have another chance to vote.

He has forgiven student loans, reunited children it their families at the border, and he is the first president to so openly acknowledge and put forth anything towards climate change.

The other option is daddy big boot stamping down on anyone who doesnt think like he.

To push left, all increments of change should be embraced. Those who stage disruptive strikes will get the majority of my respect, but by diversifying efforts we reach further ends.

Yeah. They are. They simp for authoritarians. A over hexbear they believe in the “denazification” of Ukraine…

There wont be accountability left if dump wins.

“Too late to stop him(trump)”

Really? Bc it sure seems like it aint.

The spoiler effect means voting for third party is essentially a vote for trump, so we must vote for the lesser evil. Look to the Spanish anarchists. Theyve a politically engaged political party since the late 1800s bc the second tenet they list is to make life more tenable under the current (in their eyes) transitory system.

We must pursue direct action, establish systems of mutual aid, and we must vote to keep the russian agent from criminalizing leftists for thoughtcrime.

Every available avenue is to be taken, bc we dont get to be picky, and every leftward push should be embraced regardless of how far or little it pushes. Its the sum of parts that counts. You think MLK jr would refuse to stage disruptive protests bc the man standing next to him might not yet be disillusioned with capital as much as he? That is what solidarity means. Solidarity to even those that u disagree with.

If we (leftists) want ranked choice voting, we should probably vote against the guy who doesnt want any more elections after this.

The democratic base is aging just as the gop is. The base they will have to cater towards to survive, is going to be more progressive. We need to survive til then to take that situation and use it to our ends to shift the overton window as far left as she goes.

The onus is on us all to keep democracy alive.

It is on us to take all available paths towards alleviating the situation. Voting is the easiest and least u can do. Past that, theres mutual aid and direct action. Take as many paths as u can, but any and all leftward movement must be embraced.

The “moderates” u mention are the future right wing of the country. The gop is on a sinking ship. Their base is dying (of old age and at twice the rate due to covid), and the youth lean increasingly left. Our time is upon us, but right now trump represents an existential threat to life as we know it. He is a hostile foreign agent and those paths open to us will suddenly close under him.

Bc the left has a really hard time coming together and we wont get another election if we dont.

You wont get to pull dems anywhere if trump enacts project 2025.

The older generation is at their tipping point before the youth take the reins. Its no coincidence those trying to push for another trump term want u to either abstain or vote third party, i.e. the spoiler effect.

1. Things got objectively better compared to trump. We got student loan forgiveness, an acknowledgement and some minimal climate action along with children being reunited with their parents at the border. And dont @ me with its not enough. Under trump the left will be out right persecuted ala nazi Germany.

2. The problems are being acknowledged and not exacerbated under biden. Biden is a dinosaur appealing to dinosaurs. The old democrats i work and have worked wouldnt be swayed by anything else. Too bad for them theyre dying just like the rest of the maga boomers. Meanwhile, the youth drifts further left (as evidenced by the younger dems in office). In a decade, the neolibs, in order to stay in power, will have to cater to young neolibs which will be inevitably much more progressive. With the (modern) right in utter decline, if those of us on the far left can finally fucking unite, you can actually get a chance to be the other competitive faction. Right v left in 10-20 is going to look starkly different than it does now.

If we choose donnie dump instead, we get what i said. The biggest boot youve ever seen right up ur ass.

3. sigh for the 294846th time, we arent the ones “running” the Gazan genocide. We are selling “goods” to a long term ally that we were never going to abandon just bc of moral complaints. Israel was wrong 30 yrs ago just as 70 ago and just as now. But not selling arms means we not only lose soft power on the world stage, but we make our remaining allies, that already mistrust us bc we are fickle, fear our support hinges on which party is in power. Like it or not geopolitics is real, and while it hasnt affected us directly the way it has the people of Gaza bc of our very privileged position, there is an enemy agent running for office. We get him, we will be in danger from him, and all the more the enemies he serves.

And on that note, my family in Poland would very much enjoy not being run over by imperial tanks the way putin has very very repeatedly suggested they, and Ukraine obviously, should be. Gaza is being dangled in front of u to keep u from seeing the bigger threats.

Woke up for my graveyard shift and amongst the tankies crying about facts in my inbox i at least had this to make me laugh. Thanks bae <3
