I think electoralism has practically delivered us into the jaws of fascism and has done nothing but delay the inevitable.
I am aware of what you are saying. And I never said it is the only front in the war. I am saying you are foolishly leaving that flank open and we as a whole are weaker because of it. You are very privileged that you can just not vote. Those hunted by ICE couldn’t by definition and we left them abandoned because we are too pure to give them a hand. That is frankly just as gross as [to me] those who voted yes to their persecution.
Dude we have been focusing on electoralism now for the better part of 40 years and it hasn’t done anything to save us. The apathetic voter problem has been a problem for a number of years and both sides have been trying to solve it.
The problem is a sole focus on electoralism or viewing electoralism as one of the most important fronts is a mistake. We have had 40 plus years of viewing electoralism as the primary means of political change and it has not delivered us any of the things we need nor any of the protections we want.
Once again that was done on the ground through local organization
We haven’t. The fact that non-voting has been the biggest group for decades means the front is still hot. Thanks for abandoning your allies here and making it harder for our movement to grow.
Passed in 1993
Responding to historically low rates of voter registration, Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act.
Conclusive proof that we were already aware this was a problem and have been working on getting people to engage soley focusing on getting those people to vote.

So you know of a problem and chose to do nothing? Not beating the tankies are not serious people. And again I never said its the sole focus.
I understand that it’s not your strategy to be solely focused on electoralism but it is the Democrat strategy which is the party you are pushing for.
Do you not understand what organizing locally is? Guess not. You must think that fucking soup kitchens and homeless shelters are the stuff of Miracles then. Or that the Democrats do it all
Also there are plenty of these organizations that exist that don’t use government help because they’re unable to get it
Remember in other comments where I said that we would have more room for our movements if we take elections seriously? Its nice that you are privileged and can ignore elections, but there are plenty who cannot. Non-citizens looking for a better life and ex-cons who are trying to rejoin society come to mind.

And city support is also important to their work… which means elections…
Local elections which are often pushed for by local organization which is something that I advocate for.
