I’m curious. For those anti-establishment folks insisting that we must make an exception and vote for an establishment cog like Biden ... what exactly is the game plan after Biden wins?
Sure, telling me to vote is easy. I drop a paper in my mailbox. I’ll get an “I voted” sticker and feel good about it. But that is no different than “fighting” an impending and global ecological disaster by purchasing a metal straw instead of plastic.
The Democrats will change after this? The same party that deemed Bernie Sanders anti-neoliberal-but still-capitalist (Fordism) program to be too radical? Are you serious?
You see, this is the problem with the ivory tower progressives. They’ll get a waft of mace while watching a protest from afar and get PTSD. Then, they’ll drive to our mosques in their Toyota Prius and tell us to vote for Biden.
So, again, please spell out for me what exactly the plan is. I want to know what we will do about systemic police brutality, infiltration of our mosques, white militias who want us dead, and much much more.
Biden talks about 500 children in ICE. What about the children incinerated by Obama’s hellfire missiles? What about your pro-Biden AIPAC donors and our children in Gaza?
The truth is, we will hear nothing. As Ali Shariati said, whoever is not a revolutionary before the revolt cannot be a revolutionary after the revolt. Dump the Democrats, embrace the forgotten oppressed.
