For decades, we have been in the streets in defense of the Palestinian people, and will continue to fight until the total liberation of Palestine!

    It is more like they’re building more concentration camps and we are voting whether there should be a “in this house” lawnsign out front of each one.

    At some point you have to realize that voting within capitalist psuedo-democracy will not get you the results you want, if you care about stopping the construction of the concentration camps.

    At some point, you have to realize that the working class is only going to save itself from encroaching fascism by banding together, and not by voting between candidates that will never be allowed to represent our interests.

    I’m sympathetic to the idea that Kamala Harris will be better in some ways than Trump, but I dont care enough to really bother examining all sides of the argument, because fascism is a structural issue that will not be resolved through sham elections where people only get options approved by the Capitalist class.

    The capitalist class will lead us to fascism if they are not stopped. That is the long and short of it.

    If you care about stopping fascism- if you’re willing to put blood sweat and tears into preventing it from happening in the US- you have to join a socialist org and work towards defeating capitalism. Our oppressors will not grant us freedom through their ballot box.

      It’s not an either-or situation. Vote for Kamala and organize for socialism. Voting is super easy, it just takes a little time once every four years.

      I fully believe a socialist revolution will only be made exponentially more difficult under Republican leadership, it wouldn’t make anything better, and it would hurt many people I love.

        I’m not in a swing state and I already vote every year. Stop trying to convince me and go attend a dsa meeting or something
