Pretty ironic to call anyone a radlib and then go “The republicans wanna ban voting because they know where real power lies”.

I wouldn’t listen to someone who thinks electoralism works(for whom does she think it works?), that we should “infiltrate” the police, thinks calling socdems as social fascists is incorrect.

Electoralism is working because idiots like you keep telling libs to not vote.

Well this is just not true. Electoralism doesn’t work for quite a few reasons, including but not limited to:

  • First past the post is a terrible way to run an election.

  • Single member districts will always lead to outcomes that are bad for minorities.

  • The political “left” (the Democrats) are clearly not left at all and would rather work with Republicans than help people.

  • There are fewer polling places in poor, minority, or student neighborhoods, making it harder to vote if you’re any of those things.

  • Partisan gerrymandering is a thing, and the Democrats never use it for good, even though they could.

  • The Democrats go out of their way to ensure that progressives don’t win primaries, meaning the general election is usually between a ghoulish Republican and (at best) a useless “moderate”.

Politicians do not determine the course of history, the ruling class does. The politicians are just the tool through which they operate.

You do not change the direction or goals of the ruling class by voting. If they want it a certain way, they will get it that way.

You’ve really got to understand that the bourgeoisie as a class are hierarchically above the politicians, not below below them.

There are a dozen different ways to write an executive order that would protect women nationwide from roe v wade being abolished, they are collaborators and want this outcome.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
