    Might as well vote for the PSL or Green if you happen to be free on election day. Just don’t waste your time defending the two genocidal capitalist parties. Spend it organizing and taking direct action.

    For the left, electoralism is only good for some advertising. A capitalist system won’t let socialists come to power even if they somehow manage to win like we’re seeing in France with Macron right now. Liberals will side with fascists long before they ever think about looking left, as they always have historically.

    tldw old man rant.

    It’s only an “illusion” if you think there’s no difference between republicans and democrats. sure we have a lot of issues to work out, especially money in politics, but this “democracy illusion” rhetoric is self defeating by turning people off of voting.

      If you think there’s a difference between the flavour of billionaire Wall Street in bed with big business party you’re not looking at the bigger picture.

      Both are marching to the same destination. One may want to be racist and sexist on the way, but the end result is neo-feudalism.

        if you don’t think republicans are in bed with big business to an even bigger degree you are not paying attention.

          I think they’re in bed the same amount, I think they run in the same circles, and have the same owners/donators/lobbyists.

          You’re not paying attention, it’s now almost a century of big business running the show. Things are not materially improving for citizens. The only winners regardless of which party is in power is business.

            Trump’s entire economic policy was designed by the Supply Side Economics brain trust.

            Things are not materially improving for citizens.

            Thanks a lot to presidents like Reagan and Trump, and the GOP hijacking the working class right with grievance politics. If we got the working class right to actually vote in their interest again a lot would change.
