Biden being less terrible doesn’t make him a force for good.

No, but him being adequate to not dragging leftists out behind the barn and having them shot is a necessary basis for any sort of improvement.

What do you think Revolution is? Bombing everyone?

Bombing everyone seems inefficient to the goal, which in a revolution is overthrow of the existing order. I'm not aware of any peaceful overthrowings of existing orders, can you point to some?

Depends on what you consider peaceful, I suppose.

What would you say was the least violent revolution that succeeded, by whatever metrics you use for those words?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Depends. The Russian Revolution was fairly bloodless, and overthrew the Monarchy. The USSR obviously had a whole slew of different issues, but was dramatically better than the Monarchy.

How do you think Electoralism could achieve genuine change?
