Step 1: hit snooze
Step 2: use the extra time to build dual power and/or electoral reform.
Note: The time to build an alternative to the DNC for 2024 was no less than 4 years ago. The time to start building the coalition for 2028 starts no later than December 2024.
Note: the time to build dual power is any day you can afford the time, acumen, and experiense.
Step 3: hit snooze again.
Voting doesn’t change anything. Not voting kills us.
We vote to buy time. We use that time to perform direct action.
These 2 things are not mutually exclusive.

This is what I’ve been trying to tell people, especially young lefties.
It just does not make sense to me why you would look at a broken system which gives a massive advantage to one party, see that the people trying to fix the system all belong to the other party, and arrive at the conclusion that both parties are equally at fault and the only solution is to throw your hands up in invisible protest.
It would be one thing if they just said they didn’t care, but they seem to be convinced they are actually able to affect change this way.
It’s like finding yourself in a fist fight and seeing your buddy just standing there laughing.
Worked sooo great the last time.
This, but unironically. Considering the fact that right-wing violence has decreased, Ukraine has remained standing, and fascist rhetoric is on the decline.
If you’re dissatisfied with the results, consider engaging in the aforementioned tactics instead of yelling at people who have a plan.

WDYM, the system is still the bad-vs-worse with no path to citizen interests in sight.

I can’t.
instead of yelling at people who have a plan
to fail again. But you’re right, that’s your country to blow.
Find the leftist candidate.
Oh, wait you cant?
Better post propaganda that promotes a fascist. That will fix everything. Yup.
I probably should have put a check on the blue and remove the third option. That would have made it clearer.
Nothing wrong with snoozing. Just don’t expect it to fix anything.
Can’t fix anything if we use all our resources preventing regression. Snooze implies we go back to sleep for 4 years.
🟥 go back to sleep (bad dreams)
🟦 get up (get to work)
⬜ sit there (along for the ride)
This is in the context of voting. Voting blue will achieve nothing other than delaying. The point of the meme is to encourage people to not just vote, but to actively engage in politics in order to make things better. Basically the same thing you said.
It will achieve nothing other than the first president to walk a picket line, progress on infrastructure and climate change, and a president vocal on womens and LGBT rights
Nothing. At. All.
I swear progressives wither dont know how to read or are so high on their own farts they cant smell anything else.
It will achieve nothing other than the first president to
Both candidates have already been president. Or have the Democrats decided not to have Biden run again?
And he will still have done the things i said he did.
I get it. You’re mad the US hasnt achieved fully automated gay space communism.
However, progress is made in baby steps, not in massive overnight societal change. That always, always, always results in a much, much worse totalitarian situation.
Which, by the way, you are advocating for.
Weren’t you the one complaining people don’t know how to read?
Nobody in this thread is advocating not voting for Biden. The opposite in fact. People are being honest that Biden getting elected is simply treading water, Trump getting elected is sinking.
Of course you vote to not sink, but don’t expect that to improve things. You then continue to do other things that will actually improve things until the next election.
If you can’t find a leftist candidate, fuckin be the leftist candidate.
