A think that is abundantly clear each time there's election discourse is that not only do liberals believe voting is the only political action one can make (outside of consumption of course they really believe the brands they choose to consume have any kind of affect on political realities) they also have to believe, for their argument to make sense, to believe that every "sane, rational person" would believe the same: That the only time someone is allowed to express an opinion on politics is during elections and that the goal of elections is to elect the best candidate available. They cannot accept any critique that doesn't stand on this notion. They don't accept politics outside the right wing candidate (who say slurs and announce their racist policies in the name of "security") or the left wing candidate (who doesn't say slurs and announce their racist policies in the name of "justice"). They cannot comprehend that their differences are mostly semantics, and they both serve the same interests, those of the national bourgeoisie of the country you're in. I'm obviously referring to the Yankeelection so when communists critic Kamala Harris they are not trying to "push her to the left" or "hold her accountable". They are saying that Harris is not that softer a side of the same coin from her republican ideological cousins. And the changes needed to make a real difference will not come by the electoral process (even less so the *American* electoral process). So vote, don't vote that really doesn't matter you might feel better but it doesn't really matter the result. Life under capitalism and US imperialism will go on regardless of if the candidate say slurs. American cops will kill with impunity, immigrants will be persecuted, the us army will render itself an accessory in destabilization, war and genocide. Just fucking spare us the lecture.
#us elections#liberals really are tiring i swear#the “if you don't vote for kamala or local equivalent you're supporting fascism”#that whole song and dance is a drag. if i have to see another yankee's opinion on politics i'll end up in the news i swear
