Thank you for admitting it. Many of us poors and minorities will die, but that is a sacrifice you are oh-so-nobly willing to make.
You are missing the point, voting in a party that has been moving slowly right isn't a way to fix it.
Oh, I'm missing the point, of course, sending the disadvantaged to their deaths by a reactionary fascist regime is a small detail when you have the Upcoming Revolution(tm).
I mean, it's been Upcoming(tm) for decades now, but THIS time, with no organization, it'll happen; definitely, you guys! THIS time the blood of minorities will sanctify your efforts!
The genocidaires will make every move of any revolutionary more difficult and more costly by their control over the levers of power. It would have cost you next to nothing to help avert a genocide. And allowing the genocide will gain the revolution nothing.
And yet, here it is, ushered in primarily by the apathy of the American electorate; an apathy embraced and celebrated by would-be revolutionaries.
News flash: you were going to be sacrificed by the corporations anyway. Voting blue or red legitimizes the system, so if anything, you're the one elongating the struggle.
"Elongating the struggle"? What, do you want minorities to kill ourselves as fast as we can and get it over with, in the hopes that once we're dead, that tragedy will Inspire The Masses to give you your deeply desired revolution?
