You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn’t special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say “Well I at least stand firm in my ideals”?

The average Black and Indigenous person in America does not think this way. The average Muslim, Arab, or even Asians in general most likely do not think this way. Communists organize the most marginalized and oppressed, not fully invested liberals.

I agree 100%, I’ve been making a point of following BIPOC leftist content creators, because I’ve noticed leftists communities are still very white, the most followed leftist content creators are still mostly white, and it bothers me. I think we need more amplification of BIPOC voices within all leftist communities.

Trump has already threatened his family. It’s a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don’t have to face the same kind of consequences. I can’t really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.

100%. It’s barely been a couple weeks and Trump has already started coping with questions about Vance saying things like “the VP pick doesn’t matter, because you’re voting for the president and not the VP”.

I think that if Dems keep doing well in the polls, Trump might just straight up drop Vance from the ticket.

They’re all identical types of weird chuds.

I want to believe, but there’s a reason billionaires spend millions each on security annually. Zuck security is reportedly more than $20 million every year. Musk keeps his numbers a secret, but he’s probably even more paranoid than Zuck.

No, with the endless culture war frenzy I can’t see working class solidarity, more likely a bloodbath between red MAGA and blue MAGA. The people flying the most and biggest flags will be the biggest targets.

My bad I didn’t know any communists were worried about what’s illegal under an imperialist regime.

Nothing would get me more excited than a communist vanguard party taking serious action, but in the US I don’t plan on holding my breath waiting for it.

I didn’t say voting, but if you think voting is the only form of action maybe you’re the lib all along

A threat to “neo-liberal Democracy” where votes aren’t counted equally, corporations are considered people and money is considered free speech.

It’s way more accurate to say a vaguely secular/agnostic capitalist olicharchy that makes token diversity and inclusion efforts towards marginalized groups is being theatened by a queer-phobic patriarchal white Christian theocracy.

Yeah but do you do anything to stop them other then writing very angry posts on the Internet about how bad they are.
