    pls don’t let all the liberal downvoting discourage you. posts like this are more than welcome here <3

    If Harris were actually leftwing, she’d pull that lever instantly, burn NATO to the ground, crush Isn’treal and many other based things

    but alas, she is just the “good” cop of the bourgeoisie

    (which essentially just means slapping BLM, LGBT and “feminist” stickers onto the bombs she drops wherever Wall Street requires it)

      I don’t think I am understanding this right. I thought liberals would be generally against big evil companies doing big evil stuff and big evil rich people doing the same.

      Am I wrong in this?

        The left wing is against big private companies. Liberals are all about capitalism and the free market. These two ideology often get mistaken for each other, even though they actually oppose each other.

      i’m an anarchist, but i’m also polish, and we kinda need NATO right now, with the whole Russia thing at our doorstep. i know it’s not ideal, but fuck, not many other options out there and i do enjoy not being forcibly drafted to war

        your bourgeois state needs NATO, not the working ppl living in Poland

        In an inter-imperialist war, shouldn’t socialists from an outside country support neither side and shouldn’t socialists from a country participating in said war employ revolutionary defeatism towards “their own” bourgeois state?

        the answer to a regional imperialist power is not the largest imperialist block in the history of humanity(!)

        after all, a socialist has no country and belongs to no nation. just like working ppl everywhere

        EDIT: cmiw but isn’t supporting one bourgeois state over another and thinking of it as “one’s own” contrary to anarchist thought?

    It’s not a trolley problem if you aren’t given a choice to pull the lever. There is no viable candidate who fights against super pacs.

      and there never will be if we keep voting for them if on face of genocide and current inflation.

      they compromised bernie in 2016 then blocked warren as vp in 2020. bernie actually showed its more than viable to have a candidate not beholden to superpacs. there has to be a minimum qualification for an acceptable policy and current sham is way below it.

        Wrong. The only viable way to fix this is to vote for Kamala today to avoid further genocide, and then for candidates who support RCV in all the downballot elections. That builds support for a proper election format at a local, then state, then national level.
