direct action, mutual aid, dual power. this is really simple stuff im still shocked people genuinely fucking think all they can do is vote and that will solve everything. and yet im called crazy for asking people to actually be involved in their community and make the changes they want to see in the world. such a fucking backward world
Ok, so I’m trying really hard to understand where you glean anyone here saying that voting is the only thing you should do. I’m a social worker whose full time job is helping people experiencing homelessness in any way I can. Who the fuck are you and what do you do
thats crazy how you boast about being a social worker helping the unhoused when youre sitting here demeaning an unhoused person recieving services to get on their feet. what people are saying is they think its not a waste of millions to billions of dollars, hundreds to thousands of hours, and innumerable energy exhausted to try and prop up candidates, policies, and all the infrastructure for electoralism that would easily be significantly more effective focused elsewhere. such as fucking taking over abandoned structures to allow people easier access to housing and tearing up asphalt to plant food because systemic food scarcity is already approaching. while yall were wasting your time filling ballots i used my time to plant food and destroy invasive plants
Hey, everyone, pack it up. It only took them 15 minutes to vote, so everyone else’s experience must be just like that. There’s no way that voting works differently for other people, in other states, that have different systems.
Oh hey, welcome to the conversation, and that’s not what I said at all. Other bro accused me of “wasting my time voting” when instead they think I should be digging up asphalt. I just wanted to communicate that I had plenty time to both vote and dig up asphalt
your 15 minute vote was endorsing the hours upon hours spent putting up the things you voted on, the policies that made it to that ballot, the politicians, that got well known enough to get on it, and the people maintaining the voting booths/ballot drop boxes.

Voting took me about 15 minutes

And I’m extremely happy about the outcome
youre happy about the genocide and slavery of the maintenance of the us? thats pretty fucked up
