Ah, but if those marginalized people challenge your opinions in anonymous forums suddenly you know their motivations best and have the best actionable plan. Got it

Is it surprising to you that those in power act to keep themselves in power? If it is surprising maybe it's time to brush up on your theory. Das Kapital may be the seminal work on the topic, but as a California native i think Huey P Newton is more relevant to modern American life and better illustrates how bottom-up organization is more effective for creating actual change

Tell me more about what i fear and what motivates me. Or better yet, get off the internet and try praxis with real people in your community.

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Oh yes, you know my motivations better than me. Please tell me the queer father of trans mixed race children how im voting for my own self interest you absolute child

The party does. And feeble-minded armchair leftists cosplayers sit around bickering about whos the truest scotsman until 6 months before the next presidential election and act surprised that nobody wants to engage with their top-down approach to political revolution

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

That's the shallowest take i think ive ever heard. Are you an adult?

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

It's not my party. Just happens to be the one im voting for potus

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

But why are the liscenses

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Try not to act surprised when you do nothing to elect leftist candidates locally and at the state level next year. Or any leftist candidates to the legislature at mid terms. And then in 4 years try not to act surprised that the POTUS candidates appeal to neoliberal, centrist and conservatives who have proven to engage with politics for decades and thus being an safe strategy to the white house.

Pouting about it won't endear people to your cause.

Kinda. There's a subreddit with people making fiberglass shells to strap to their off- the- shelf recumbent bikes. Converting a recumbent into an ebike is well documented online.

Adaik there isnt a 1 stop comprehensive plan to build a velomobile.

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

It'll take years to build that high density housing. And several generations to convince everyone to move into it. In the mean time, it'd be good to use velo mobiles for transportation from suburb to suburb.

I wish i could be a single issue voter. It'd be so much easier to sleep at night if i could arbitrarily pick a single issue then vote for the candidate that pays it lip service. All those xtians voting for trump because they hate abortion. Just like them you'll throw vote for Stein because she's spoken out about 1 of the 3 genocides happening right now, and she's got your vote! How lucky you are. It's kismet that a candidate like Stein exists for you to feel good about your vote.
