I personally think that any situation where people are pressed between Susan Collins and a boot that killed people for fun, we should be overthrowing the system entirely.
What if we informed Platner, a man who loves killing, that Susan Collins is old and defenseless? Would his instincts kick in? Maybe there's another way foward, politically, for Mainenites.
She isn't a middle-easterner, so the white-supremacist killing function doesn't activate.
Lmao
Fun fact: This loophole is why black people weren't allowed to run for office in the US until the 15th ammendment (or the 1960s, if we're being honest)
And since overthrowing the system entirely is unlikely, the best course of action is to shit on whomever runs against Trump enablers.
What Trump is doing currently in the real world with the help of Susan Collins must continue.
Just for fun, I'd love to see you attempt to eviscerate the Republicans and Trump exclusively. This would be mostly to see how long before you blew a gasket and started attacking Democrats.
Overthrowing the system entirely is the only way out of the continuous stagnation and decay from imperialism and settler-colonialism. The DNC is just as much an enabler of this decay as the GOP, as both are imperialist parties. Conditions will continue to worsen as time goes on, and people will continue to abandon electoralism as a viable means of gaining necessary change. It's either socialism or total collapse.
What does that even mean? I hate Trump and the Republicans, why on Earth do you think pointing out where they stand aligned with the Democrats is me "blowing a gasket?" These aren't opposed sides, they both serve the same class interests.
