    You care more about institutional longevity than human suffering; you think democracy is regular elections not self governance.

    I stopped right here because clearly you’re full of shit of you think not voting means you care about human suffering.

    Voting is the bare minimum, and so many can’t even do that. Community organization and mutual self aid are fantastic ways of using your time the other 1459 days of an election cycle, but if you can’t be bothered to engage in voting and someone is elected that can destroy all the progress you made, you’re set back drastically rather than you would have been otherwise. You are intentionally picking paths that lead to suffering, and you do your best to not acknowledge the immediate consequences of your actions and try to play it off like the obvious result of your actions was inevitable,rather than something you helped set up.

    Yeah, I will vote for the lesser evil, because I’m not an accelerationist who doesn’t care how many people are hurt in order to bring change. Justify it to yourself however you want, we don’t care how virtuous you are when we’re dying on the streets while you argue theory and feel smug about choices that objectively make millions of peoples’ lives worse.

    Edit: and you still have provided no more proof of your initial assertion than whatever rhetoric you’re pulling from your ass.

      Sorry, a couple of notes and I’m out of your hair. The election cycle is not 1459 days unless you’re not voting; I’ve never called myself an accelerationist nor said I don’t vote for democrats down the ballot; don’t co-opt people who are dying on the streets if you are staying inside.

        Yeah, nit pick and don’t actually respond to the points at hand, because as expected, you can’t. We both knew it would come to this.

        And, please do leave, because as hilarious as it is that all you can do is peddle accelerationist rhetoric and engage in right wing talking points to blame Democrats for Republican actions while being asked to support an assertion, it’s frustrating to talk to people who pretend to care about people while advocating paths that lead directly to death and suffering.

            Do you understand how many different Democrat administrations have funded various genocides, dictatorships, and hostile takeovers of self governing people

            And what does that have to do with the results of a war that was started by trump and opposed by everyone who doesn’t support him? Why would the Democrats start a war against Iran? What actual evidence, out side of your feefees, do you have that this still would have happened?

            Still no response, because you don’t have one. You just can’t admit you’re full of shit and were wrong.
