    you’ll be excluded

    So like always?

    Exactly, you’ve abstained and you won’t organize a third party. You’ve done everything to not be taken seriously. The left broadly doesn’t want to, so it will keep being irrelevant

      I didn’t abstain. Most people I knew on the left didnt used to either. Fuck you. I’m more than a lefty; I fit into lots of demographics, and not one of them has ever won jack shit by voting.

      Everything you’re saying is from a dog shit Arron Sorkin fantasy. I find it deeply offensive for reasons you can’t and do not want to understand.

      Fuck you and fuck your nation-state. You are why we have fascism. This is your doing and you can’t even understand why.

        This take right here is why people turn against leftist politics… homie is telling you to participate in democracy as well as other forms of organization and resistance, and you’re all “fuck that I’m not gonna do nothin”

        Like this is a dumb hill to die on, and you’re polarizing people that could be your allies

          there is not voting, and there is having your vote be conditional. i may not vote democrat if a progressive candidate is not available, but third party is always an option instead.

          Saying “fuck no” to having your time, energy and resources wasted is the only way to not get wrung dry.

          Or would you be convinced by me telling you to participate right now in violent revolution as well as other forms of organization and resistance? Knowing that when you say no I will interpret that as you saying “fuck that I’m not gonna do nothin”.

          When the enemy has complete control over the weapons and battlefield which overwhelmingly favors them; why would you pick that fight?

            And if leftist hadn’t just retreated they’d have more space to manoeuvre. This goes back multiple cycles
