Comment on When the Democrats regain power, their centrist leadership will claim, "We can't do anything because...". Don't be fooled. We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in!

Again, you have it completely and utterly wrong. Alternatives to rioting are pleasant fictions that give people excuses to not riot. Because they believe in voting, they think that that’s enough. We have to show them reality to get them on the streets. Letting people live in the fantasy land where voting matters means fewer people on the streets.

You realize that the same person can vote and riot, right?

This is nonsensical.

Letting people live in the fantasy land where voting matters means fewer people on the streets.

Stop telling peolle to give up.

  Give up on voting. It’s literally never worked in your life, your parents lives, nor your grandparents lives. It’s a lie created by the ruling class to pacify you. Stop relying on the vote. Start getting angry and shutting the system down. If you can find time to vote between rioting, striking, and sabotage, go ahead, but there’s probably something more important you could be doing to dismantle the system that has been oppressing you and your fellow humans for centuries.
