   last RT; I mean I'm for smashing the rich people and just taking their (already stolen) shit. But you know, UBI would probably help the poorest among us in the meantime, and it's hard to do revolution on empty stomachs.

   In case you were wondering why I support a robust welfare state, while also being pretty sure capitalism gotta go.

     @Tweetfiction Was just pointing out in my discord that almost nothing I say is really about voting because I do frequently check the box for the lib, to stop the nazi who wants to kill me tomorrow. I'm voting for time. I just refuse to pretend that it's more than that.

     I actually do respect those who tactically vote for Democrats to stop Republicans; even though I have come to the conclusion that too much of that only enables Democrats to turn further Right; and that going Indy Left and organizing the marginalized would be more of a bang for the bucks.

     What I don't respect are those who do so while lecturing me about how my choice to build an Indy Left is "selfish" and "purity seeking" while backing right-wing Democrats...

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Same reason I vote for Democrats, even though they're generally shit. Minimize the damage. 🤷♀️

     ...just to prevent Republicans to get into office, only to have them move closer and closer ideologically to same Republicans when in office, is considered the only "progressive" option.

     When in a ditch that is drowning you, there is a time when you have to stop digging.

     Well, I reside in a double-digit "red" state where the "opposition" party is more likely to nod it's head at the Republican Right than oppose it. So, I do have some flexibility.

     YOMMV, of course.
