    If you say praxis 5 times in the mirror, Bernie Sanders will appear and eat your student debt

    the weird part is that people itt assumed that if you don't vote than the only alternative is violent overthrow of the system, skipping the entire scope of politics altogether. but i guess when you don't do any other political action

    Attention morons: there will never be a socialist revolution (especially in America). The working class doesn’t care about your platform and if the youth can’t even be mobilized to vote in large enough numbers, how do you expect them to actually pick up arms

    not if my boy soulo has anything to say abt it

    why is it impossible, the country has already split once

    why do people just make this assumption based on nothing

    you think you can convince a bunch of millennials to drop their phones and live in the woods embarking on a guerrilla campaign?

    It may be the only real viable way to make a. change but it seems near impossible

    It’s really not a guilt trip. On the most shallow level, people protest voting against Biden are voting against their own interest in a massive way by punting on the Supreme Court for the foreseeable future.

    it only works when the army joins the revolutionaries' side

  • Mar 12, 2020

    Also from a logistical perspective unless these theoretical rebels had a good portion of the military on their side.

    Even if they organized a sizable guerrilla army, armed them with modern weaponry. They’d be going against planes, radars, missles, air strikes. It wouldn’t be like the 1930s where a bunch of revolutionaries with guns would face off with another army primarily armed with just guns

    This is true, but both the army and working class itself is largely comprised of conservatives

    how is voting for an 77 yr old, mentally declining, establishment figure, whose many failures and awful policies made possible for trump to become president, moving country into the right direction? i'm losing my brain cells reading this thread.

    biden literally kicked off his presidential candidacy by saying china is no big problem. i guess y'all want more iraq wars, libya invasions, tpp and nafta deals.

    not "a bunch of millennials" but, you know, workers.

    whose interest? mine? the supreme court is one of the most reactionary institutions in the country. the most apparently "left" justice called Kaepernick's protest "dumb and disrespectful".

    im not chastising you or anyone else for voting for biden. you can go right ahead, but I'm tired of voting for corporatists that don't care about the American people or their struggles.

    Yes yes old ppl keep watching ... don’t go vote it’s not worth the risk ....

    I’ll be voting Bernie in Ohio too dawg, but we have to be reasonable come the general election.

    Fact is we have to come out for Biden in November. We can’t cry like babies because our guy didn’t win the nomination. There are bigger things at stake than petty ego s***. A Trump second term could turn in an even bigger disaster VERY QUICKLY. If you thought this past 4 years was a s*** show. Just wait and see.

    PLEASE BE SMART THIS TIME.

    do you really think biden won't be just as bad, if not worse than trump

    we’ve discussed the theory before itt but there’s an argument for an acceleration effect (always risky discourse tbqh) about how biden could possibly usher in a worse donald trump type by facilitating the exact environment they were able to fester in both the public and political scape @Enpax
