minus-squareubergeek@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前What if I told you, that elections are a way for the ruling class to justify the oppression of the working class?
minus-squareFlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·1 年前Then I would conclude that you are not interested in winning elections. And therefore you shouldn’t give advice to people who do want to win elections.
minus-squareubergeek@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 年前Hey man, I want our Empire to crumble, not prolong it’s life. While crumbling, I want to limit damage as best as possible. The Dems are the ones who care about winning elections, and holding power. The only way to do that is to listen to the working class. Trump lied about his intent to fix the problems, but he did, minimally, agree they existed.
minus-squareFlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·1 年前I don’t believe leftists actually know “the only way to win elections and hold power”, considering they have accomplished neither.
minus-squareubergeek@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Probably because neither is our goal? I mean, leftists want no state, no classes, and no money.
minus-squareFlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Democrats definitely don’t want a stateless society. So they definitely should not listen to leftists.
minus-squareubergeek@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前In which case, I cannot argue with. Which means the Democrats most certainly do not support the interests of the working class, and just want power over others. Which means, none of us should be voting for them, or the GOP.
minus-squareFlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 年前Plenty of people in the working class don’t want a stateless society, either.
minus-squareubergeek@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Plenty of people in the working class want a fascist dictator too… That’s why its our job to work on raising class consciousness still. And yes, the majoritarianism argument is to be had, as well.
