    What lack of urgency and privilege?

    The kind were you are so dismissive about building out our options and growing progressive politics. Particularly in regards to voting.

    I knew plenty of MLs who did vote for PSL in the last few elections, just feels like you’re dealing in caricatures.

    And I’ve spoken to many that are dismissive and taunting about just not doing so.

    I don’t see the democrats as credible ‘harm reduction’. they are useless at best, co-conspirators at worst.

    Which is why we should vote as left as possible. Particularly in primaries. Ideally have our own party running.

    and try to get comrades to at least vote in those because they’re decided by like a hundred people

    Great. It does not seem like it. It reads like you would do the opposite.

      as we’ve already established you’re barely reading anything I’m saying

      Ideally have our own party running.

      are you going to vote PSL if they’re on the ballot for you?

      I said that voting isn’t organizing. it’s not something that leads a movement, it follows a movement.

        I happen to be in one of the last places they might show up. That said, if they were I would vote in their primary and again for them in the general.

              It’s good to hear. from re-reading this exchange I don’t even think our practical positions are particularly different, we were talking past each other and have different electoral environments

                We are in a class war. I feel that elections are still a front in that war, not the main one, but still an important one and we neglect it to our detriment. Our attitudes toward things matter. It is hard to reflect it on ourselves. That is all.

                But yes. I do think we agree on the core issues.
