@mindbleach@sh.itjust.works summed it up perfectly

“Material conditions” are leftist-flavored “facts and logic.” The actual concepts matter… but the people pounding the table about those phrases don’t even know what they mean.

**Would you rather be advocating for socialism under milquetoast progressives who ignore you - or under fascists who want you skinned for moving pamphlets? **

**Would you rather be fighting for easier name changes as trans rights - or debating whether married women get to vote? **

Does any sane person honestly believe Kamala Harris would have handed Elon Musk a machete and pointed him at social programs? Or treated every federal institution like she bought them and they owe her money? Or bombed Iran despite this inevitable outcome?

Wouldn’t your entire life be better, without Republicans in charge?

Not voting for the most leftist available candidate to you only makes the organizing you preach that much more harder. Unless of course you want the Tankie outcome, accelerationist bloodshed in the name of the revolution.

By all means, shit on the Democratic party and work to do better than them, but if you don’t prefer them in a them-or-fascists race where the winners will be them or fascists, then what the fuck are you doing?

You can think Gaza is the worst thing since Germany in 1943 and still prefer not to add on Germany in 1937 at home. Wouldn’t the world be better if Israel was our only problem?

Because that worked out great last election? You can do more productive things if you have the balls for it, if you insist on not participating in elections.
