just like political asshats shouldn’t be controlling abortion rights.

You're the jackass talking about "the universe experiencing itself" and then act like rights are not a political construct. God or Nature or whoever else you think rights come from isn't going to magically project those rights into existence.

Did you have a point? I understand the societal construct.

I also understand that sometimes you have to play the game long enough to understand how to dismantle it.

Not because figuring out the game is hard, but because you have to get enough people to on your side to make sure you succeed.

You say "you have to", but what actual reason to believe this do you have besides that some other condescending prick told you so? When I look at historical liberation movements (and I can't say I know all of them, granted), they never got by on entryism and, at their most normative, still conformed to Marx's advice of establishing an independent political party, though often they were much more underground than that, often branded terrorists, etc. They certainly didn't fucking campaign for their own opposition like you're supposedly doing now (though in reality I don't think you really are in opposition to Harris) and generating more of a popular mandate for the establishment.

I've said this a few times to you already, but Saying Things Doesn't Make Them True. You pretty obviously don't understand it.

I also understand that sometimes you have to play the game long enough to understand how to dismantle it.

You've tried this for more than 50 years. It does not work.
You claim to understand this, but then do not understand why people might vote for a third party candidate, when that candidate cannot win this election.
You are just barely sapient, and that's being generous.
