Wtf is bluemaga?
A pejorative for die-hard liberals, from a leftist perspective.
it’s the liberal version of the conservative red maga
Blue and Red parties in the EU are called Right conservative and Faschist parties. There isn’t any relevant left party in the US
Liberalism is a joke.
Give a better alternative to vote for then.
These so called lefty memes telling people not to vote for the opposition to the Republicans feels like a psi op now. “Only REAL leftys let Republicans take office!”
You BlueMaga lot think anyone who disagrees with you is a “psi op”. It’s just liberal qanon
I’ve long hated the Democrats.
It’s just pretty easy to see who benefits from memes telling people not to vote, and definitely not to vote for the people who aren’t Republicans.
Yup, Qanon reasoning
Voting is less than the bare minimum required to enact positive change. Revolution is necessary, which requires organizing.
Yeah aight but in the meantime I’ll still vote for the not Republican which has a chance of winning
Are you going to organize? I’m not an accelerationist so I can’t recommend voting for the DNC.
“organize” is vague. I’ve been doing some activism locally.
But let’s say, for the sake of argument, there is a huge socialist revolution in America. One that somehow didn’t involve voting and the government at all, something completely outside of the system.
The thing with that sort of revolution is that it takes time. Not only to build, but to actually do something when it’s started. It would probably take more than a year, probably more than four years, to effectively take over the country.
So during this revolutionary period, let’s also say you’re a secret revolutionary so you can get into the ballot box. You’re on a secret mission and you can change the election results.
You need to do this in such a way that it’s not obvious that the election has been tampered with, so a third party candidate is right out. If they saw one was rejected to the presidentcy they would throw the whole election out the window and you’d also get caught, so it’s pointless.
So you’re left with generic Republican and generic Democrat. Generic Democrat is doing what generic Democrat does, a lot of lip service to the center and light left, still is in cahoots with big business, saying we can make peace with the revolutionaries, and passively for Israel. Generic Republican is doing what generic Republican is doing, overtly says they are going to attack minorities, overtly saying they are going to crack down on revolutionaries, obviously going to be catering to the interests of capital, and is extremely pro genocide.
So, secret agent, which one do you rig the election for, for the betterment of everyone and the revolution?
This is the most 12 year old “what if” nonsense retort I’ve ever seen.
The Democrats wouldn’t be making peace with the revolutionaries, lmao. Your hypothetical is already absurd when you imagine that the revolution would risk secret assets to rig elections, but the very idea that outright revolution would be going on and elections would both continue and that the democrats somehow would be aiming for peace with revolutionaries is even more fantastical.
I reject the hypothetical because it will never happen.
Bro never heard of what hypothetical means, lmao
Ok, to scared to answer because you don’t like cognitive dissidence, no problem. I’ll talk with people who are willing to have a good faith discussion if you’re not even willing to try to understand people around you.
Not a great tactic for getting support for your cause but you do you
I know what a hypothetical is, the purpose of a hypothetical is to propose a relevant and reasonable question. Your hypothetical only makes sense if we assume that the DNC would treat revolutionaries differently from how the GOP would, which is historically inaccurate. Accusing me of bad-faith for pointing out where your hypothetical falls apart is nonsense, it isn’t bad-faith to reject a useless hypothetical, I took your hypothetical seriously and responded as such.
What is better solution in your opinion?
Remember that margin in 2024 election was so thin that only 300 000 extra votes (in right states) would be enough for Trump to lose, only little over 2 million for Kamala to win on numbers.
Revolution.

You can’t force a revolution, else it turns into a coup. Instead, you organize and build up the apparatus that can steer an eventual revolution in the correct direction, ie a political party. I work with a communist organization on outreach, and try to do what I can at an immediate level to help raise worker organization and thought.

Nope! I’m not an accelerationist.

Yep, just not for the DNC nor GOP.
politicians represent the rich, which are the true rulers. we vote between rich people factions.
unionism tends to be one concrete powerful way to pressure them back right in their pockets and is why the rich demonize it so much. any method that messes with the flow of their money works, that’s what theory is for.
but learn from the mistakes of past generations who did it and depose them already so this doesn’t have to be a recurring problem.
read theory and organize
The consitution of the united states was written by a few rich, white, slave owners. And was written so they would be able to keep there wealth.
Kalmala is a rich zionist with an insentive to maintain the status quoe. Even if she wanted to change things she still has to bow down to her rich doners and the press both of which dont want her to do anything that threatens them.
There is no way to fix a system designed to uphold the rich and segregate minorities.
The alternative that actually works is revolution.
How is the revolution going?
Better than electoralism.

ah so true, we’d all be at BRUNCH and Kamala would have bombed Iran the proper way!
I’m reminded of the concept of nominative determinism looking at your nick, your instance of choice, and your takes.

I wish you fucking reddit losers would actually learn what an ad hominem is, rather than treating the Wikipedia page on logical fallacies like a spell book of magic incantations

ah yes, and here’s another: your father was a hamster and your mother smelled of elderberries! now go away and take your shit takes with you, fuckface
For countries that have had a revolution? Mostly much better. Unfortunately their aren’t the material conditions for a revolution in my country yet. Although we will get there eventually.
Meanwhile voting has rarely gotten anyone anywhere.
