Then I suppose you're left with no options but to continue voting for one of the two parties that got us here. But if you're going to critisize revolutionaries then say you have no better ideas and are not trying, you look like a sports fan who thinks they could have caught the ball the athlete dropped.

If you think a revolution is a simple as revolting, I encourage you to go do that instead of insisting others make the world better for you. You clearly must know something no other leftist has figured out with how simple your revolution plan is.

How do you think revolution works? You cannot simply violently take to the streets whenever you feel like it. You need to build up critical amounts of support or you'll just be considered terrorists at best. A poll a while ago showed more Americans want a party to the right of repiblicans than ones who want one to the left of democrats. There are less leftists in America than any other political group and we have to fight against the entire US medias narrative to build that critical support. I love the open hostility to the smallest political group in America for not being able to save the whole fucking country with violence.

Wow, both sidesism? He must be a tankie.

Do you really wonder why people dont post meetups for revolutionary activity or other incriminating things on a public forum that has an explicit no violence rule?

Or my favorite "we shouldn't hold trump accountable for crimes because we need to beat him at the ballot box"

Hakeem Jeffries should feel like an idiot for that one.

Respect existence or expect resistance.

Im very familiar with the BPP and model my contributions to direcr action orgs around their principles as well as the desire to set up parallel power structure. Without the rank and file or our own power structures, there is no foundation or material support for revolution. We're not even in a position where violence could help us yet. In short, unfortunatly, at this point it seems things need to get worse before they can get better, if they can get better.

The Philippines elected the son of the most brutal dictator in their history. So im really not sure about that.

Democrats vocally came out against getting him off the ballot for his crimes alleging 'you can only beat him at the ballot box', but it turns out they can't.

Only if you're white. If not, do as your told or you may be assaulted, imprisoned, or shot dead. Sometimes you'll do what your told and those things will still happen.

Id go so far as to say they're paid good money to explicitly not learn from this.

Democrats seem to consistently get record breaking funding from running aganst Trump, many are probably ecstatic they have four more years of free money from people who hate Trump.

The real answer is resistance is a network, no one is a video game protagonist, its a little late to start networking but look for whats called direct action groups. Dont expect rambo shit, mostly you're going to be removing fascist stickers and posters and helping the local unhoused and at risk populations.

Not today, CIA

The margins are far to large for third partly voters to spoil this, but you be mad at whatever helps you feel better.

Dont expect the Democrats to learn anything from this because their Billionaire donors would rather they lose by promoting policies that don't threaten profits than win and cost the donors money.

It's worth mentioning the POTUS is SIGNIFICANTLY more stressful and consequential than even his current position. Quite literally, stress can age you faster, inuring physical changes in the body. In addition to that, I also have faith in the people and professionals he surrounds himself with to stand by him because they believe he can do it, not because they want to be the puppeteers of a powerful senator. May be wishful thinking in the end, but I think the general point it the situations are quite different.

No, you shold realize that in America one does not simply 'vote for a railroad' unless you have the money to contend with the auto industry. But we both know you understood this, so why feign ignorance to misrepresent it?

I have a few pizza dough recipies specifically tailored around carb:fiber ratios for those reasons. Next step is better ingredients because currently I can make up to 6:1 but it doesn't really taste right until about 8:1. Hand picking the flours I used instead of on hand ingredients and whats avaliable at typical grocers should help me progress it.
