You organize and push policies you want. Push for RCV, push for candidates that’ll support what you want, show up to protest with your peers. You organize petition drives and collect signatures. Community organizing is a field all it’s own and there are a dozen ways to engage but engaging is the critical part. There are other steps to take that organization will be important for but I’m not going to start fedposting. Being organized is the only path forward.

Organizing and acting is how you accomplish goals.

That you see organizing and establishing community as “dismissal” and “prepping” speaks volumes.

We’ve made great strides locally, what used to be a “queer hiking group” is now talking about secure communications and organizing a range day soon. We’re making actual progress and forming a support network for our friends and families. But yeah I’m not doing anything and your demoralizing progressive voters online is going to accomplish a lot.

Edit: I can give you more concrete steps if you’d like. If you’re willing to give me a rough geographic location I can probably even locate existing group(s) around you that would likely be receptive to help

Organize offline, meet people in your community, shitposting online isn’t going to do anything. Reference my previous comment, organize locally with like minded people and start preparing for things to get really bad.

ORGANIZE IN REAL LIFE AND STOP NAYSAYING ANY ATTEMPTS AT PROGRESS.

How do we restore trust in democratic primaries?

Now that’s actual real question that contributes to the conversation.

I mean, besides telling anyone who notices the problem to shut up?

I’ll tell whiny little crybabies to shut up all day long if they’re not contributing shit. You should try it, it’s harder than snarky thought-terminating cliches but you can make actual progress that way.

If arguing against strawmen makes you feel good then you can continue doing that. I know righteousness feels good but you’re completely missing the point.

That’s what you took from that entire statement?

OK then, I think I’ve discovered the problem. Have a nice day.

I’m working in real life to organize which is a hell of a lot more useful than trying to demoralize progressives online. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing. Put in the work instead of suppressing people who are on your side.

You lost the plot a long time ago. We’re talking about how shitty the party is and Gavin Newsom is specifically. You have an interesting interpretation of the conversation.

It’s cute you think the party has only sold you out 3 times though.

No you’re not, you’re just complaining. If there were anything actionable or useful in your comments I wouldn’t have responded to you.

But again, why do you think I don’t want “that problem” solved. It would benefit me for it to be solved.

Ain’t no drug like money!

In another post he straight up says “on October 7th when Hamas attacked the Jews.” Joy Behar even helps him along with it because of course she does.

Shit is infuriating and is a big part of why things are the way they are. I hope his whole neighborhood develops serious plumbing issues.

It’s not like he has any morals or character.

I bet he has a big house and a really nice car though, and isn’t that what really matters?

The economy couldn’t sue anyone anyway as it’s not a person.

(And people who are lied about by them, should sue them.)

I heard they give out free handjobs so they’re very very popular at parties.

Ah shit it’s so simple to relocate. Just sell everything you own, cut ties with everyone you know, and move to a country that just offers citizenship to anyone that asks.

I don’t know why everyone hasn’t done that already.

Because .world is biased and has their own agenda.

When did I do that?

How about you don’t jump in to demoralize every chance you get. Try to come up with solutions and ways forward. We all know things are fucked we’re just not apathetic whiners who see no way out and want to spread our apathy to others.

Ah yes I want the problem to persist so things can get even worse in the place I live, that makes total sense.

Casual racism is so cool

What’s the official vehicle of American Black Trash?
