Genuinely laughing at how you construct a false premise and then continue building a mountain of straw men on top of it.
I guess that’s what happens when liberals abandon reality. Better luck constructing a coherent thought next time!
You're absolutely right. Most of these self-proclaimed leftists don't even pretend to have any clue how to start a revolution, whilst demanding it as the only possible course of action.
Tbf, they're mostly well aware that they're too few in number to violently overthrow the system. So the opening of the OP is a bit of a strawman
Otoh they watch people looting an electronics store on tv and interpret it as 'something is brewing'
There absolutely are folks precisely what the OP is talking about. One verbatim quote from an exchange I had: "Revolution is necessary, electoralism cannot work."
He was absolutely adamant that voting is stupid and people shouldn't bother because we need "true communism" that cannot come from voting.
True leftism is when you blindly vote lib, support capitalism, and obey the wealthy like a good puppy
Genuinely laughing is against the code of conduct.

There is no vote this election that will result in a better system. I'm not even sure there's a vote that won't result in a worse one.
I was living in Germany in '88-'89 when the wall came down. You got me, I'm just out here destabilizing countries for hire. Actually I'm just an American who has lived in righty places and lefty places and it's made me a proponent of ranked choice voting. I think we get railroaded into a choice between two shit shows every year.
Quick question, which places in USA have ranked choice voting and how many of those places are 'lefty' places?
There are a few but I'd have to look it up just like you. But I have lived in Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Duesseldorf, Seattle. The ranked choice opinion comes from being someone who reads a lot and is generally anti-authoritarian. The US has two authoritarian parties.
Also look up which places have banned RCV and which political party is in power there.
If you honestly believe that then you're a dumbass.
I'd argue if you don't believe it you are.
Sure bud. Both parties are trying to kill women and transgender people, right?
Trump has said he'd veto a national abortion ban. No one seems to have a great solution for trans suicide at this point.
Weird you say no vote will result in a better system, and then claim to be a proponent of ranked choice voting. Which just happens to be on the ballot for at least one state.
So which is it?
People were saying the same about Biden and look at all the stuff he did. Green energy, ira, drug price controls, chips act, etc. So yes voting Dems will give you a better system.
