Yes, actually, everyone urging for pragmatism at the polls should be willing to take steps other than just voting.

What do you suggest? I'm for this. What are good steps? I want to get from where we are to a voting system that allows me to choose a different candidate without wasting my ballot.

But if they cosplay as a leftist IRL then their social groups, redcaps all, might see them and ostracize them.

I don't trust Dems to believe in meaningful voting choice. I only reluctantly vote for them because they haven't fully embraced fascism.

People need to organize in large numbers for electoral reform to make it happen. It is not going to happen if we don't agitate for it.

One of two people are going to win. You can have Joe Biden, or you can gamble that Donald "Israel should finish the job" Trump, who kicked off 2017 with an unconstitutional "Muslim ban," will do a complete 180 this time.

Protip: it seems to be the lefties who dislike genocide and Trumpanzees have oppositional defiant disorder, so it certainly will not be getting better under Donald.

It's fucking weird to pretend you dislike genocide while agitating for an openly racist authoritarian insurrectionist to take office. Like were you asleep for the 20th Century portion of history class or have the middle schools not gotten to that part yet?

Maybe if you did some collective action between events instead of waiting two years for the polls to open and then complaining that FPTP is still giving you only two choices.

The same cops that attack protesters during the day, just off duty. Still paid overtime, somehow, because reasons.

How is Uber Eats up in there next to electricity and water?

I guess if nobody wants to do it, the market would have to price that labor much higher to make that happen due to a low supply for a high demand service.

Yeah I think we totally agree there.

What is the left-wing extremism in this case?

Having a president executing all their political opponents is kinda the end of the country, though, right? I don't know how it can come back from that.

We are pretty fucked either way if SCOTUS claims a president is immune. I'd just like Biden to take them down with the rest of the country if they do so.
