Typical all or nothing response. Let’s forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that ‘it was either Fetterman or Dr. Oz’ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.
If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?
and none of that system has solved the issue for us in the various decades it has existed.
you think abstaining is the solution
no i don’t, that’s not what any of us are arguing for.
why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years
because most people have insisted for that time voting is the only solution worth pursuing. its not, that system works against us making it on of the least effective solutions.
Nobody says abstaining is the solution. Electoralism in general is not a solution. Organizing, joining working class parties with revolutionary intent, is the only solution.
