A society where everyone is responsible isn't doable. People are assholes, we're doomed either way

Laws can help though, one step at a time. Socialism isn't throwing the old system away entirely

we're doomed either way

Shouldn’t that be “we’re doomed any way”? Or are there just two options?

Totally agree, which is why I recommend using the Democratic party to implement more (and more) socialist policies. But I’m constantly told by “lefties” (of which, I assume some significant part consider themselves socialist) that Democrats are worse than Hitler and the only option is to just let republiQans win. Which, y'know, they did. And now it’s all this.

Everyone who couldn’t bring themselves to vote, or to vote for Harris, because of the Biden administration’s inability to stop the genocide in Gaza. Search this comm in Sept-Oct of last year, you’ll see lots of examples.

Why not vote for the lesser evil? Not much you can do in the USA anyways

Hoping republicans to stop the Palestinian genocide is just dumb
