why not take a page from the right’s clearly successful playbook and vote more in local politics and primaries.
Because they’re fucking lazy and would rather shitpost on Lemmy et al instead of doing something. Then they whine about how protests don’t count, voting doesn’t count, writing op eds don’t count. Apparently nothing counts ever and they have some magical solution they refuse to do. Then they vaguely gesticulate to violent solutions as they ask why somebody else doesn’t do it. It’s so fucking predictable. Don’t forget the obligatory mention of how a general strike will somehow solve it all and they’re just - wait for it - waiting for someone else to put it together.
Change takes time and a lot of not-so-glamorous, grinding work. You can’t sit around for 3.5 years waiting for the general with your thumb up your ass then go “wah wah wahhhhhhh no candidate represents me”

Liberals, every accusation a confession. It is objectively and demonstrably the coward “lesser evil” voters who are lazy and refuse to do anything of value, patting themselves on the back and thinking they’ve done their “civic duty” by penciling in the bubble endorsing genocide so they can call it a day. Socialists are the ones who realize that actual work has to be done for any material difference to ever be made and you have to constantly fight systemic injustice and materially help marginalized people rather than do a little masturbatory performative nod to the status quo once every couple (or every 4) years. The people you’re calling lazy are the ones who are out there volunteering their labor to provide food and other essentials for unhoused people or people otherwise impoverished by the system of exploitation that both republican and democrat fascists force upon the world. It’s the socialists who are out in the street doing what they can to build parallel power structures that will continue to help actual people while cloistered, privileged, treat-obsessed liberals sit content in their bubble, pretending they spoke truth to power by voting for that same power.
What’s immediately hilarious about your lie is that most socialists did vote (despite knowing how insufficient it is to accomplish literally anything worthwhile) they just didn’t vote for the blue donkey version of the fascists that liberals like you worship, they voted for De La Cruz (or La Riva before her). So saying that it’s socialists who are lazy for not voting is an immediate tell that you’re either painfully ignorant or cynically lying (likely both) since most socialists did do that ineffectual bare minimum thing you foolishly think is so important, they just aren’t stupid cowards like the liberals who pretend they did such hard work by filling out a ballot for fascists. Thanks for outing yourself as being the one guilty of everything you just accused socialists of.
Have you ever experienced a stun grenade? Tear gas? Have you been grabbed by a MAGAt as he screamed “RACE TRAITOR” in your face? Have you had your camera grabbed by a Qultist as he screamed “FUCK YOU FAKE NEWS” in your face? Don’t fucking presume to know me.
