    This lukewarm take in every comment section is so old and boring. Maybe try blaming the fascists for all the, you know, fascism.

      Sounds like you don’t like me reminding protest-non-voters what they voted for.

      Got another 3.5 years of this. Longer if you count the time it takes to fix things.

        The reminder doesn’t actually accomplish anything, though, given the gravity of the fascism we’re facing. If this were a standard election cycle, sure, whatever, blame away. But we’re not in a standard election cycle and we may never be again at this rate. So instead of pointing fingers, it’s a lot more useful for the left to unite against the fascists and try to resist their relentless encroachment.

          And I’m reminding people what happens when they don’t unite and vote, and instead do this “n n not good enough!” stuff.

      we’re all suffering because of people who protest nonvoted right now. So fuck them. They’re just as much to blame as the maga voters. They fucked everything up. Its fucked. Its all fucked. So yeah, were going to be pissed about it.

        My point is, regardless of fault, all this backwards-looking, performative infighting on the left accomplishes nothing at this particular moment. We’ve, uh, got bigger fish to fry. So let’s focus our animus (and resistance efforts) on the fucking fascists whose boots are on our necks, shall we?

      Nah let’s not blame those truly responsible, lets just keep pointing fingers at each other exactly as the rich want it.

      I don’t know maybe you’ll end up with Trump again after this if people don’t change the way they vote.

        Maybe we’ll end up with Trump again after this if people don’t change the way they RESIST. Now is the time for active fucking resistance, not hand-wringing about past voting.

                  Look dude you are talking about actively resisting, so thats why I asked how are you doing that. And if you think I’m an fbi agent or something just say what someone theoretically can do, how can I actively resist?

                    Oh, well you should’ve asked that from the start! I’ll copypasta one of my earlier comments on this topic:

                    The best way to resist fascism is the way that YOU will actually do. So if, for you, it’s calling your congresspeople from the comfort of your home, do that. If it’s going to protests, do that. If you’d rather be the hero escorting migrants from their court hearings, do that. If you’re the type of person who gets a kick out of making a giant ruckus outside the hotels where ICE agents are staying so they can’t sleep and ultimately get evicted, do that. And if your preferred means of resistance is, let’s be honest, a little more naughty, do that.

                    The best way to do any of the above, IMO, is to get involved with a local resistance or advocacy organization. (Here’s one place you can start.) Strength in numbers and everything.

                    My point though is that this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. It’s not the time for infighting or purity testing or hand wringing. It’s the time to fight.
