    Ok but your two realistic options for achieving those goals is either to pick up a gun and go do it yourself by force or to participate in our admittedly shitty system and put Democrats and specifically progressive Democrats where possible in power. So which ya gonna do?

      Well considering people are being locked up in concentration camps, shot in the street in broad daylight, and the feckless opposition party constantly rolls over. Probably the gun, since I’ve already organized with my neighbors in case ICE shows up.

      Glad I could clear that up for you though.

      Edit: Oh and that’s a false dilemma since voting is also backed by guns, they’re just used by a third party so we can abstract away the inherent violence that allows a government to be a government.

          lmao, I’m a reactionary. I react to the world as it is, not as I wish it was. If you’re going to try to label me, at least do it right. Especially since you do it to avoid actually putting up an argument, and to avoid your own cognitive dissonance.

          Guess you don’t have to think critically when all you look for is easy labels, and people to blame. Must be nice.

              You made no argument? There was no need for a “rebuttal”. You decided I was labeled, and said that you didn’t need anything else.

              That’s not an argument, that’s a statement about your mindset, lol.
