You know that we’re in trouble when the best folks we have in office are DemSocs that can’t even match SocDems on policy. They’re basically offering a kinder, gentler neoliberalism and wrapping it in the rhetoric of socialism. Like, what the fuck?

The same liberals blaming anti-genocide protesters for Kamala Harris’ loss would have been blaming anti-war protesters for LBJ dropping out and Humphrey’s loss in the 1960s. It’s the same people and they should be completely ignored because they’re deeply immoral and keep making the same mistakes.

The purpose of voting is to trick you into believing that you have a say in how you're governed, so that you don't storm the palace and behead the king. It's a safety valve for power. Passive compliance where one accepts and internalizes oppression via the results of an election makes things worse.
Our vote has been highly controlled since inception. It began with only land-owning white men having the right and that’s exactly what they want to get us back to. At NO time in history has our government made voting a priority for all. NEVER.

The only thing that centrists defend is capitalism. Aside from that, they sway with the political winds and flock to what's popular. They're willing to sacrifice anything, because they believe in nothing. They adopt heinous positions because their lack of core values makes for unstable politics.
