But that would never happen.

2021-02-22 00:05:55 UTC  

I'm not talking about an anti imperialist

2021-02-22 00:06:03 UTC  

Why should a first-world country give a shit about the third-world?

2021-02-22 00:06:10 UTC  

Exactly

2021-02-22 00:06:17 UTC  

In your own low-IQ way you understand

2021-02-22 00:06:25 UTC  

Allah has blessed you with some wisdom Elijah!

2021-02-22 00:07:12 UTC  

I didn’t read your message, I just noticed the part where you said we ought to be in solidarity with them.

2021-02-22 00:07:20 UTC  

I'm talking about a candidate who would simply be more likely to create the conditions necessary for more (in your view) positive change, ie a candidate you think is more likely to cause a progressive movement to form in wherever because of their actions

2021-02-22 00:07:28 UTC  

I don't mean you when I say we

2021-02-22 00:07:30 UTC  

You're not black

2021-02-22 00:08:13 UTC  

I can't conceptualize such a candidate but if for whatever reason he was likely to either actively disrupt imperialist extraction or just be really bad at it, yeah it might be worth voting for him

2021-02-22 00:08:30 UTC  

But I'd imagine there's still better uses for that time.

2021-02-22 00:08:38 UTC  

I'm only talking about voting

2021-02-22 00:08:51 UTC  

Not campaigning or anything else

2021-02-22 00:09:19 UTC  

Because most elections are inconsequential and the result is determined by how districts are drawn and votes are tallied rather than a simple majority

2021-02-22 00:11:47 UTC  

If someone showed me such a candidate, made a rational argument as to why they were likely to hamper imperialist practices, and I lived in a county or district that was heavily disputed and not gerrymandered as to make my voting pointless, I'd vote for them in a heartbeat and tell everyone I knew to vote for them. @monads

2021-02-22 00:11:54 UTC  

But that almost never happens.

2021-02-22 00:12:05 UTC  

I cannot think of an example of such an election.

2021-02-22 00:13:02 UTC  

Actually rationale is insufficient

2021-02-22 00:13:25 UTC  

Inshallah they would have to make an **EMPIRICAL** argument and show me the receipts behind this candidate.

2021-02-22 00:19:43 UTC  

Trump 2024

2021-02-22 00:20:10 UTC  

MAGA!

2021-02-22 00:20:15 UTC  

PATRIOT PARTY!

2021-02-22 00:20:19 UTC  

Yeah

2021-02-22 00:20:25 UTC  

Nope

2021-02-22 00:20:31 UTC  

No patriot party

2021-02-22 00:20:44 UTC  

Trump is starting his own party just watch

2021-02-22 00:20:45 UTC  

If there's more popular support for Trump under the patriot party ticket, do you think the GOP spoils or implodes as an organization?

2021-02-22 00:20:55 UTC  

Time for some WONK TALKS

2021-02-22 00:21:17 UTC  

the GOP will implode bc Trump will win

2021-02-22 00:21:21 UTC  

Trump wouldn't do that because he isn't retarded

2021-02-22 00:21:29 UTC  

He is retarded.

2021-02-22 00:21:32 UTC  

Fuck the GOP, it’s controlled opposition.

2021-02-22 00:21:39 UTC  

What

2021-02-22 00:21:43 UTC  

What are you talking about

2021-02-22 00:21:50 UTC  

They're one of the two ruling neoliberal parties

2021-02-22 00:21:57 UTC  

You can't be opposition if you're the establishment

2021-02-22 00:22:03 UTC  

Jesus christ you're so fucking dumb it hurts.

2021-02-22 00:22:18 UTC  

Calm down nigga

2021-02-22 00:22:24 UTC

2021-02-22 00:22:43 UTC  

@oistoy I think that they might spoil the first cycle with the Patriot Party but after that they implode and are absorbed into the patriot party
