    You said to Organize and admit a genocide is occurring, while not letting yourself be convinced that voting is the only course of action.

    I’m saying that’s awesome but what do we do when trump gets elected because no one wants to vote now?

      Of course voting is not the only course of action. Voting is incredibly little. What, you check a box? Maybe wait a few hours at most to get into a pilling station? Dear God.

      This is an incredibly limited amount of political action, particularly given the way in which box checking translates into any political action (electoral college, media monopolies, biased education, wage slavery limiting political education, campaigns built on donations from capital).

      You actually do political work. You become educated and join an organization that does more than act as a sheepdog that turns alienatuon into genocide votes.

        And in the end Trump wins the vote and you lose your oppurtunity to do any real politcal work! Congrats.
