Yeah, it sucks. We all know it sucks. But the only way you can affect change outside of the ballot box now is insurrection because clearly peaceful protests don’t do shit.
So if you aren’t willing to take up arms against the government, vote Biden.
I read the first post about John Lewis not being the best politician even though he was a wonderful activists and thought oh great, now i’m gonna read 100 terrible posts by the extreme centrist that will unavoidably end with them cursing for additional 50 posts and somehow end up the victims. I didn’t foresee that extra 500 messages of “why did you only flag my terrible posts everyone are misogynist” angle.
You expect the same treatment from smacc? Because I already gave you the same treatment. I flagged neither post. Almost everyone here gave you exactly the same treatment as they gave tabbaker.
I’d be willing to listen to centrist blue MAGAs a bit more if they were going to protest American imperialism, fight against ICE, and help to curb income inequality after voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’
Centrists making the ‘lesser of two evil’ arguments don’t even see Biden and company as ‘evil’. They just want to go back to their money and insurance. They are craven. They never have and never will join the fight. Fuck em.
I don’t know what he means, he’s crazy. I think you’re mischaracterizing my side business idea, and I think you can be a responsible human and still make money through business endeavors.
Am I one of these centrists? I’m against a significant amount of our foreign intervention. I’m against military imperialism, I’ve protested ICE, I vote for progressives who will curb income inequality in most primaries, and while I may not see Biden as explicitly “evil,” I do see him as majorly problematic in many ways.
I’ve been to seven protests in the past year and donated a significant portion of my income to RAICES. I will 360 slam dunk a vote for Biden if that’s what it takes to get the sociopath out of office. Then I’ll walk out of the polling place and keep pushing for change.
ETA: Even if you will forever hate Biden because he’s not AOC, maybe vote for the guy who has her earmarked for a policy position vs. the guy who keeps trying to get her killed via twitter.
