as long as we still #vote
if we give up on voting and commit to revolutionary change, the strategists in the revolutionary cells will tell us to vote: vandalism/ sabotage
even in #revolution we're going to be dealing with compromise, a choice between imperfect revolutionary leaders
the "lesser evil" problem never goes away
there is no such thing as #purity, hewing to that is for immature losers
real #leftism is effective action
not inert, useless, entitled, whiny #toxicIdealism
