No such thing as antisemitism on the left. It's antithetical to leftism. If you're antisemitic then you're not in the leftist camp. Anti Zionism is not antisemitism.

Nobody said that

Nobody said to not vote. Just that it wouldn't solve a lot of what we're currently experiencing.

Why don't we just start [redacted] the government? Or work on getting a third option right now?

Jfc nobody said to vote for trump.

I'm trying to think what values biden actually shares with me.

You know you can make change outside the official channels, right?

I know trump would be worse, but this post is just expounding on how shitty biden still is. Being 5% better than trump isn't good and he knows he could be better but he's not.

Lol, I'm not trying to get arrested right now.

There is plenty of direct action people can take besides a violent revolution to improve their and others circumstances

Ironic you're calling me an idiot when you can't see the damage neoliberals like biden have caused and continue to cause. For starters, guy is literally enabling a genocide. He can't even bring himself to call trump and his goons in the GOP fascists. I do mutual aid work with various organizations and I see the suffering these so called progressives in government allow to continue year after year while spending billions on bullshit like police and the defense industry.

It's not selfish. People are SUFFERING and DYING. The people who are selfish are the ones who don't want to give up the privilege and luxury they have that is only made possible by the suffering and exploitation of others these reforms would help the most.

Goddammit I never said not to vote. What do you hope to accomplish by only voting?

seahorse OP Mod ,
@seahorse@midwest.social avatar

Define reasonable discourse

seahorse OP Mod ,
@seahorse@midwest.social avatar

There is zero proof of that. You would call MLK a main character?

seahorse OP Mod ,
@seahorse@midwest.social avatar

What other part?

seahorse OP Mod ,
@seahorse@midwest.social avatar

I'm not expecting to accomplish much of anything by voting for someone else. I prefer direct action.

seahorse OP Mod ,
@seahorse@midwest.social avatar

Still wouldn't have happened without direct action, which is ultimately what I'm trying to get at in these comments. People like MLK had to put their asses on the line to make change happen. Had to rally support. Simply voting doesn't really accomplish much. It took Black Americans getting beat in the streets, causing issues for politicians to get the civil rights act past the finish line. You're right that it does take time for progress to happen but without direct action like what MLK did I don't think anything would have ever gotten accomplished.

Where do you think the administration got the info that its just spotters from? Cops. The fact that they even called the cops is a red flag.

What the fuck does this have to do with the election?

NEW YORK, April 25 (Reuters) - Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction for sexual assault and rape was overturned by New York's highest court, reopening the landmark case that launched the #MeToo movement and highlighting the challenges of holding powerful men accountable....

Weird, I have a paywall bypasser installed and there are paragraphs. I posted it to the body of the post just now.
