Saying you care a lot about a topic, but then being unwilling to take an evening to vote is quite a wild and privileged thing to say. Just re-enforces how closed minded and anti coalition building MLs are. Never said voting is the only thing to do; just that we should. Your rhetoric is effectively saying I’d rather not help my fellow lefties; then you wonder why we don’t get our goals.
I never said I was unwilling to take an evening to vote, the part where I disagreed with you was in your over-emphasis on voting as a legitimate vehicle for change. If you truly believe voting is important, rather than a “might as well,” then you aren’t learning from centuries of leftist struggles that inform us that this is a dead end. Running to an anti-communist Nazi bar after you got banned tells me how you actually feel about lefties.

Then please don’t use speech to discourage action. There are still victories to be made there for working class people. Just because you won’t get everything doesn’t mean you should leave it all. Elections don’t happen often, so its not a big ask to take an evening to go vote. There is still the rest of the time for other forms of organizing. Please engage with the points I am making.
You never engaged with the points I made, though. I engaged clearly with what you were saying, then you ran off to the Nazi bar to make a post about me. You can certainly understand how that makes you come across, right? Why would anyone want to work with someone that behaves like that?
I’m not surprised. This is someone who got so mad at me pointing out the Biden administration was complict in genocide that they started stalking me across the fediverse for months
They even made a MWoG post after this.
