I have an integra and yeah I hate this system. Does more harm than good by immediately drawing my attention off of the road.

Good move, they were a clown and pointing out that they were arguing entirely in bad faith is correct. They did it under the guise of being far-leftist, but as a far-leftist myself, I have a hard time believing it was for anything other than pissing people off. Hopefully they can go practice being happy instead of doom-posting on niche Internet forums.

This ol' boy's name was Stux. He made it from 2016 to 2023; a 7 year run!

It is sad to think about how many working class people will funnel their earned money into his pockets.

Good god. I feel bad for them on two fronts.

  1. That’s a brutal way to die and at a young age.
  2. They were so delusioned by religion that they put themselves in danger to spread around ancient mythological texts to random people.

In no way is religion worth the events.

The hard truth is that to get a leftist government we, you and I, and others, have to do more than vote. We still need to vote because it is an avenue given to us. A free lever. But we need to become active locally. In tenant unions, in local leftist groups. We have to organize and this takes time. Do not vote and pray, vote and then act.

You are not helping your case. I won’t hold your words against those that are serious about doing good.

Tensions are high and they are understandably panicked. Have open conversations with them in good faith. It is the only way forward.

There is division within the ranks of the right as well. There are protest votes upwards near 20% in the Republican primary in some states, even when there is nobody running against Trump. I understand things are dire, but the Democratic party can win this election. I am far further to the left than the Democrats are, but will still vote for them in the elections to buy time. We must believe in ourselves, and I think lashing out against the far left is detrimental to the cause. It is fair to confront those who are adamant about sitting out elections, but the conversation to mobilize the far left pragmatically must be tactful and not full of hate.

I understand your view, though I see those who do refuse to pull the levers of democracy as misguided and self-destructive rather than overtly and explicitly "supporting fascism." Convince them to pull the levers they are given, rather than lash out at them. Humans who are confronted with negativity and accusatory language will only back further into their corners and pull out their fists.
