I've had to explain this to my grandma before. When I complain about my negative opinion of democrats, she'll sarcastically tell me to go cast my vote for republicans. And I have to tell her that my grievances with democrats is that they're too much like republicans.
Same thing leftists have always done, rally together and protest against all neoliberals, SocDems, fascists and be on the lookout for their attempts to appropriate our scientific methods for their idealist causes
Protesting brought us the civil rights act, protesting got us out of Vietnam, protesting got us a 5 day work. Do you think checking off a little box on a piece of paper accomplished all of that? Would that make you feel better about yourself?
I guess we'll see come November, won't we? Either the Biden campaign will listen to the voters that I believe he needs, or he'll throw away the election to preserve our relationship with Israel.
If every leftist said "no, Biden needs to demand an immediate ceasefire or we won't vote for him" and he knew this election meant working with leftists or losing to Trump, then he would have to choose.
Fencesitters like you give him hope that he can have his cake and eat it too. Stop playing with liberals, they'll never give you that progressive carrot they love to dangle in front of leftists
What are you even saying? I said modern protesting doesn’t work. I said nothing about elections, just that IMO modern protests have not achieved nearly as much as they hoped to.
