virtualboyCOLOR posted:sure gotta admit I'm pretty surprised to be rehashing these tired old dnd arguments in cspam but oh well. if you're really looking for my ~progressive bona fides~ here they are: I'm involved with my local DSA chapters, my IWW branch, and one of my city's bail fund/prisoner support orgs. After a push to organize my own workplace fizzled out largely due to covid, I'm trying to find ways to help organize and unionize my industry. I was a bernie victory captain. despite polling location lines being long as gently caress every time i've driven past one after work, I still filed my mail in ballot like a good boy because I wanted to vote for howie and some ballot measures that were important to me. there. is that good enough for you? am I allowed to post criticisms of this asinine VOTE (sorry, v*te!) BLUE NO MATTER WHO dogshit? if so: you're not doing poo poo in this thread, sorry. telling people to ~~v*te~~ isn't poo poo. it's not effective, it's not loving praxis. it doesn't matter. the left lost when bernie lost and we need to find a way forward and it definitely doesn't center around rallying votes for joe loving biden. if you want to vote for biden because that's what you personally feel like is most effective use of your GE vote, or something you should do in an ethical sense, fine, by all means, but you're not doing any loving work by trying to vote shame people here, or encouraging them to d*ang just go friggen v*te you friggen goons!!! voting is only strategically useful in the aggregate, as part of a political movement, and joe biden's political movement doesn't involve the left, so i'm out. I have no desire to vote for a demented racist war-criminal rapist anyway. again, if you think it's "harm reduction" or whatever, by all means. just keep that poo poo to yourself. also, check this out: trans people are, in fact, people! trans people suffer additional oppression under our poo poo awful system, without a doubt, but the idea that anyone who is trans is automatically a comrade and 100% right about everything is the liberal fetishization of identity over everything else. trans people can have bad ideas like anyone else. trans people can be liberals. trans people can have otherwise good political youtube careers but have a bad opinion on one subject. all this can be true because they are people like anyone else and not ideological bludgeons you can swing around so you can appear to be the wokest one in the room.

It's really hard to see how things will get better in this country because weirdos have been convinced that "v*te"-ing is activism, so every 4 years they go pull levers for one of two false choices, sigh contentedly at having Done Their Part, and things continue as usual. Imagine scolding leftists for not wanting to do something as pointless but also symbolically humiliating as voting for Joe loving Biden so the child cages can be blue the next 4 years

Pentecoastal Elites posted:what I mean is that I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the argument that a vote for biden will be responsible for a good thing happening to a specific group but somehow is not responsible for the continued suffering of other vulnerable groups, especially when a lot of people who are thinking about this election like you are are going to go back to brunch when joe wins because "well joe's not great but this is a victory for ______!" (trans rights, in this case) actually the reason I posted it is because I want to convince lurkers in swing states to vote instead of staying home, and I want them to vote because my life (and probably their loved ones lives) will be concretely better and safer under Biden than Trump in obvious and unarguable ways.

Everyone here either already voted or isn't going to vote Biden no matter what, because he's a sex pest and is one of the most right wing Dems (why he was picked to balance out the Obama ticket in the first place).

Joe Biden winning or losing is going to be due to the voter organization and mobilization conducted by the democratic party as a political party, not because of you whipping votes in the cspam subforum of something awful dot com even if you were able to totally command the votes of a few hundred or thousand nerds spread across the country. Without a political project behind you (like Sanders' was, like Joe's is), you're pissing into the ocean. Do whatever you want to do but you should at least understand that what you're doing here is, again, done only to satisfy your desire to own posting enemies, or own sense of responsibility, or own insecurity about the democrats, or whatever. If biden loses petulant c-spam nojoe commies won't be to blame, and if joe biden wins it's not because you heroically rallied cspam lurkers to the defense of trans people. posting clap isn't clap praxis clap

One of the grosser things that liberals do is find one or two trans people stupid enough to agree with them on whatever psycho poo poo they're pushing on any given day and then act like anyone who disagrees must be transphobic to do so. It's so transparent in the way that they want to use minorities as tools to serve their abhorrent and often self-destructive purposes that it makes my skin crawl.
