But it’s still lesser, until bitching fuckwads consistently vote we can’t shift to the left in this country. Politicians don’t give a shit about people who aren’t going to vote or throw their vote away on people who don’t have a chance of winning. So the people who are voting for the lesser of two evils have shitty choices the more people who vote consistently especially in primaries to shift left the better chance we have of moving left.
The lesser evil is the greater good. We will never shift left if people don’t vote. It’s so ignorant to keep letting Republicans win because the Democrat option isn’t great, every time that happens the country gets dragged to the right. If Republicans stopped winning they would have to shift left, which would shift Democrats left as well.
Things don’t need to be mutually exclusive. Political parties and whatnot can still be formed and built alongside community defense groups and militias. If anything they will both make each other stronger.
I bring up getting armed and organized because the working class is lacking on that front & being unilaterally disarmed is not productive when the parasite class is more than willing to use violence against us.

Sure. But these are large scale long term projects. While the “time to buy a gun and sandbag my front yard” crowd seem to expect some kind of revolutionary action overnight.

It’s lacking on a whole host of fronts. Just for starters, where do people even meet anymore? Younger people are poisoned against church. Unions are dying out. People don’t just hang out at the bar after work for hours at a time. Where do you go with your coworkers as a group? Where do you go with your neighbors as a group?
Who do you even talk to about this sort of thing? It’s not like every street has it’s own gun range.
It seems like any large congregation of people that isn’t a private ticketed event is a crime. Down in Houston, the police got called on a big park because of a "teen takeover " (ie, too many young people in the same place at the same time).
When choosing the lesser of two evils one is quick to forget that you are still choosing evil.

Maybe we try supporting the greater good rather than the lesser evil next time.

Stop pretending that dishonest primaries reliably represent the will of the people.
We’re pretty far into the we should get armed, and trained with firearms, and form militias territory / community defense territory.
Sure voting, but also we need to prepare for the likely scenario our current parasite class will not cede peacefully.
You should read “What Is To Be Done” and grasp a bit of theory before you start pulling a trigger.
Adventurism never seems to benefit left wing organizers in the long run.

You seem weirdly determined to deter people from obtaining a means to defend themselves and communities.
