while any actual vector of progress gets shut down,

Support them anyway.

Is taking an evening to vote in primary and election day too hard for you yet expect others to velive your serious about higher level activism?

I find giving support to genociders to be detrimental to social progress. Others find it to be pointless, which is what I am pointing out to you. Somehow, you struggle with this, you'd rather argue against a position you can make up in your head. I assume because it is easier for you to argue against.

Now you are talking about others believing my level of activism? Weird non sequitor. I dont really care about that in online spaces, since I do not find them useful for political organizing. In person I find I have no issue with this, so I find it to be a non-issue. What was the point you thought you were making?

Primary. Support progressives. Standard blue is a last resort.

Oh, we're doing the obtuse thing! Classic.

No, I won't support a genocider just because they ratfucked a lesser genocider out of the candidacy.

I'll face opposition so I'm just going to get out of the way, but trust me I'll be there for harder things while being unwilling for the easy stuff

Wow, that's a terrible attitude to have! Who said this?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, thats a big generalisation, surely you have some example to point towards for such a statement?
