Left-leaning voters online have rallied around Kamala Harris this week, and many are increasingly critical of those who have said they’ll withhold their vote.
A communist who does not participate in the election of the country’s leader is merely performative and cares more about being an “outsider” instead of actually advancing goals.
They’re not our country’s leaders. They are capitalist leaders, they are leaders for the donor class. The working class has zero representation in government, the occasional crumbs they will throw us is not representation, it’s to keep people silent and pacified. And voters will defend those crumbs, tooth and nail for fear of losing their crumbs
A critique of critical thinking skills coming from people that allows their party to appoint their handpicked chosen representatives and then claiming we need to save democracy is easily dismissed as bullshit.
Propaganda to get a far-right dictator installed in the US so that it collapses and allows China and/or Russia to expand. Source: they are from lemmy.ml.
Your solution is electing the people directly fighting leftists? The role of Democrats is not to defeat Republicans but to prevent leftists movements and organizations from gaining power or influence. They are gatekeepers to prevent progress
So, you’re not actually even promoting communism in any way. Just fighting against Democrats, specifically. Not against the fascists, but very specifically against Democrats.
Yeah it will be much easier to make progress if we get the further-right guys who want to send the National Guard in to get student protesters. Floating ideas that protesters should be deported. That’s the clearest and swiftest path to leftism, a Repub president that urges cops to beat the shit out of protesters.

So then what are you doing to spread your communist ideals?
Apparently voting to let a literal Nazi into office like a pure dumbass.
Like the place isn’t already being run by fascists.
Ah, I see, you lack critical thinking.

A bit odd that you mention this talking point, given it’s largely repeated only by Republicans
And anyone with common sense. The party claims they are the party of preserving democracy while simultaneously subverting it.

Curious.
Democrats are the gatekeepers to fascism. Im punching right but democrats keep getting in the way.

Totally unlike cop actions during Palestinian protests?
So you are saying you are fine with the president urging them to do worse. Psychotic.
