    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

            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.

              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.

                  Remember where I said we will never take elections seriously unless people local organize which should be the primary goal?

                    I didn’t say that elections are the only thing we work on.

                    I said we will never take elections seriously unless people local organize which should be the primary goal?

                    contradictory statement. Elections are part of the organization. So you will never organize because you will never organize? Neat, tankies are not serious people.
