    mate drop the larp. you have the perfect time for revolution now, but none of you are doing shit and you will never do this revolution™

    So hurry up and throw your larpy revolution now, or suck it up and admit that the democrats are your best option. you have either trump or democrats, those are your main options. Or you can leave the shithole US for a better country.

    yanks are weak-willed and will never revolt. stop pretending you’re a revolutionary in waiting.

      I’m not a yank, don’t know why you’re using 2nd person. Secondly, the conditions for revolution in America are non-existent. The working class is fragmented across a variety of things, most notably cultural issues. Thirdly, i myself am skeptical of a first-world socialist revolution and believe revolution in the third world to be the most expedient issue.

      The democrats are not the best option. Time and time I’ve battled this idea in this community. The democrats continuously swing further and further to the right. What’s the evidence for this? Their unwaning drive to shirk everything to the left of them, no matter how moderate (see Mamdani and Sanders 2016).

      What then is the best solution for America? Well that would have to be decided by the Americans, but if i had to give an opinion, it would be to organise within a third party (the green party). America is still in love with electoralism, so the next best step is to get people the fuck out of the democratic party and into a party that actually has a shot of moving left. This party isn’t the end though, just the means; to serve as a promotion ground for genuine revolutionary leftism.
