    I was comparing your energy to his

    You’re comparing misogynist/transmisogynist energy to that of a feminists & trans allies? Again, make it make sense.

    I was comparing your drive to create division.

    What I & others are trying to do is educate & agitate for real change, not to sheepdog people back to bourgeois democracy as the end-all be-all, nor to vote Blue no matter who[1], which we know won’t work. We didn’t get women’s suffrage or the forty hour work week through the ballot box, but through militant action, through strike action.

    We get there together.

    We don’t actually, at least not all at the same time. Some states will get there sooner than others. The imperial core, where you & I live, certainly won’t be the vanguard for change, in fact they’re the biggest obstacle.


    1. Previously: Unless you live in a swing state, it costs nothing to vote left of genocide. There is no downside, and it may make the Democratic party sweat enough to move slightly left. The party isn’t going to move left if they know you’ll always vote blue no matter who: all that does is make you a reliable and politically irrelevant punching bag. ↩︎

      Your cited sources support Russia, but not Trump’s US. Make it make sense.

        You have the same energy as Adolf Hitler
