I don’t disagree on principle, but that “if” is doing industrial machinery level heavy lifting. I’d love to live in that world, I really truly would. Unfortunately, I have to live in this one. I’m over here trying to make lemonade comrade, and you’re trying to make strawberry shortcake with strawberries we don’t have.

Yeah, “That lib Vladimir Lenin” being accepted as plausible is concerning, to say the least. Not blaming you, it’s a reflection of the discourse, but Christ what a discourse.

Yeah I was trying to lampoon the lemmings who sincerely believe that participating in elections is fundamentally anti-left. I figured it would be obvious, but to be fair I have seen some particularly counterproductive tankies.

Satire is truly dead.

I completely agree with you. I thought calling Lenin a lib would negate the need for the /s

You kind of need to work with the system you have until you can change it.

Wow, what a lib take. You sound just like this lib:

Whilst you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but windbags.

I’m not sure how that would make Republicans stop winning they have quite the devoted voting base.

Sure, but Democratic voters are not democratic leadership. If you have a problem with Democratic leadership, tell it to them. Voters don’t benefit from Democrats losing to Republicans.

I think that would be stereophonic

I thought about this recently and it does make sense. You’ve gotta test the spring so you can use the right amount of force

This is homophonic.

Maybe, but then they would’ve been buried by AIPAC money, as we’ve repeatedly seen. They’ve done plenty of positive things at home, or at least tried to, but all that gets ignored. Sure, I’d love to see a positive change, but we have to acknowledge the reality of the political landscape, and opposing Israel is political suicide with current campaign finance influences.

Doesn’t really match the tone, it’s probably the name of the apartment complex

Honestly I think of Friday night and Saturday. Sunday feels more like its own thing,the beginning of the week. It’s the day you do any unfinished chores to prepare for the week. If sometime wanted to “meet up this weekend” I would not assume they meant Sunday, unless they wanted to grab brunch.

I think you missed my point.

Because it still worked? I didn’t say anything about permissible, I’m talking about successful. You’re allowed to do whatever, you just can’t be surprised when certain actions are ineffective. You’re allowed to build a shrine in your closet and try to voodoo progressives into office, but that’s not going to accomplish much.

Maybe the accelerationists are right, but then maybe they aren’t and that’s a whole lot of suffering and collateral damage for nothing.

Oh I’m not arguing that, I’m just asking how that would have kept us out of this mess.

He won the primary (in a Democratic stronghold). Awesome, let’s keep that up where we can. Vote in your primaries.

But if your district’s Mamdani is a long shot third party, maybe make sure the shitlib beats the fascist until that long shot has widespread support.

Then vote in the primaries, absolutely do that and encourage everyone you know to do the same. And if a shitlib wins the primary, vote damage reduction.
