Ok, then stay home or keep voting democrat, but stop pretending you want change without doing anything to bring it about. Individualism and conformism is exactly what got the US here and both parties would be very happy if y'all stayed that way.
Politics is what happens before and after you cast the ballot. The vote itself might as well be a formality.
Get off my nuts, I want to build a labor party. I just think it's going to be extremely fucking hard and we should recognize it. We still have to do it.
I heard an interesting idea on the Red Menace pod that tenant organizing might be the key to building a labor movement. Unlike AFL-CIA affiliates which are poisoned with labor aristocracy, almost all tenants are universally poor workers. That's a potentially huge source of power.
I misread you, then, my sincere apologies. Seeing a lot of defeatism and it frustrates me because that didn't help a single bit in 2016 and only made 2020 worse. I agree on your point about the AFL CIO, which is why I'm fond of PSL, they're very principled domestically, regarding trans rights and on firmly anti-imperialist foreign policy and they're not part of the Washington aligned labor unions. The comrades I look up to the most are engaged in unions and organizing there.
