    You make this point like there’s any other option.

    I would love to not have to vote for a Democrat.

    But I have to, because we are all doomed.

      There are other options. Join a socialist org and organize/eductate within your workplace and community.

      You don’t have to vote for a Democrat.

      People have been voting Democrats the whole time on our path to where we are, it didn’t stop us from being doomed. We had 2 Obama terms right before Trump 1, then we had a Biden term between Trump 1 and 2 and it stopped/fixed nothing.

      You can join Leftist parties and try to build up alternatives that can avoid doom, you don’t have to side against the people trying to save us all.

      The reason there isn’t any other option is because nobody puts in the effort to add other options.

      There’s a Simpsons meme currently in Active on 196 rn from 1994 pointing out how ineffective both parties are. People have had longer than I have been alive to work on a third way.

      America isn’t collapsing now all of a sudden. People have been passively watching it die for decades.

      You don’t have a say in the dictatorship of capital and white supremacy so it doesn’t matter what you do. If it makes you feel better then do it but it doesn’t accomplish anything.

        You’re spouting leftist rhetoric as if you’re actually on the side of the working class, yet have no problem snubbing the actual work and resorting to billionaires’ pet AIs. Be consistent, you poseur. If you actually cared about the working class you wouldn’t be rubbing artists out of the picture by using genAI, and you’d certainly be against the potential for AI to erase millions of jobs and devastate the environment with energy demands.

          “intellectual property” is a form of private property. It benefits the owning class, not the working class.
