Really tired of “both sides bad.” Political change should not be moving fast and breaking things. Right now we have a hole to dig out from. We need to get to the point where we can vote for the people we really want. By not voting you say that everything is fine and you are okay with the status quo. Vote for the change we need right now. Do not let our future slip away.

If “stop supporting genocide” isn’t the first step, then what the fuck is? I can’t think of a lower bar, but I’m told it’s actually a “purity test”.

Democrats and Republicans aren’t actually against each other, they pretend to be two different parties as it is an effective psy-op to keep the populace believing in a Reformist path to change, so we do not pursue a Revolutionary path instead. As long as the populace continues to believe a Reformist path (like voting) is able to save them, the Capitalists can continue doing what ever they want, only Revolution can save us (IE we must save ourselves by overthrowing the Capitalists), and only once the people in general realize this, can Revolution actually succeed. It is also why we must keep pointing out to people how the system is rigged against us, how as long as we live in Capitalism Democracy is a lie and the oppression and exploitation and U.S. bombings will continue.

Coalition building is required in any free society, and guess what, non-participation isn’t absolution.
