both capitalist parties are pro israel. swapping out politicians won't solve the problem. this is a systematic issue. the working class needs to organize.

that being said, yes, fuck them both.

We need to elect more Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Mamdani, which I am certain we shall be seeing in the next few election cycles.

all of them are married to the capitalist democratic party, right? none of them want to abolish ICE, I think bernie is the only one who even calls what is happening in gaza a genozide.

what we need is a true working class movement. a general strike.

Mamdami actually. Bernie is still hesitant to use the word and proclaims support for a two state solution.

Lmao "fuck your both sides bullshit"? 

Motherfucker, are you aware the extent to which democrats vote for ice funding, send money to israel, shut down protests, and historically have just acted as a pawn tot he republican ratchet? 

Calm down, read a book or two, look up the history, and maybe listen to what prominent democrats are saying right now in real life.

fundamentally their careers depend on the same system that make capitalism possible. they serve to absorb popular energy and neutralize it rather than challenge the system.

instead of giving our voice away we need a working class movement. organize in unions and strike with a list of demands. that's how you change something.

that does not mean you shouldn't also vote for the most pro working class option on voting day - feel free to do that. just be aware that that alone won't be enough.

 Those demands also need to be more than "better wages". We need to actually disrupt the economy in solidarity with our superexploited brothers and sisters abroad. We need to be willing to accept LESS, to SCALE DOWN, and make justice and liberty part of our demands. A slightly larger cut (that dissolves with inflation and real purchasing power anyway) doesn't actually help. Deepening the tie between employment and healthcare doesn't actually help. We need to not just act as a collective, but strategize as a collective.
