    I mean like my friends do. I'll return to my earlier point: you have an absurdly circumscribed notion of what constitutes politics. 
    No, I just don’t buy into what you’re trying to sell, that because your friends share the beliefs of a faceturd shared queersagainstpete internet agitprop that it makes it a “political movement” that exhibits legitimacy and transparency. It’s as much of a political movement as I am aligned with middleagedlibtardpersonsagainsttrump is. Let me go down in a basement and share it on social media and I’ll have a political movement running rampant.

    Please let me know who is actually behind queersagainstpete when you get a chance. Maybe check with Bernie? When and where is the rally?

    Did the disease improve under Obama? I don't think so.
    Did it grow the way it has under Trump?  Go ahead and have your problems with Obama, Biden, et al (I do), but ideal has become the enemy of good (adequate, if you prefer).  Trump and the Democratic nominee Are. Not. The. Same.

    Except the options you're offering are not the "ideal" and the "good;" they're the "really bad" and the "face-meltingly awful." Lesser evilism is not good praxis.

    You're really hung up on that page, man. How does this work for you: I personally know members of that LGBTQIA community who say "we deserve better than Pete." You can dismiss that particular page if you want, but you're going WAY beyond that.

    Then don't bitch at all when Trump wins.  I haven't quite followed but it looks like with the possible exception of Bernie, you're either voting third or not voting in the general, as is your right.  But you know the reality.  You know that fifth party candidate you vote for isn't going to win.  So that means you either think Trump's not gunning for dictatorship (he is), the Dem candidate also will (they won't), or you value the sanctity of your vote more than whether or not that happens (???).

    If you are sitting there on election night legitimately indifferent as to whether Trump or (for instance) Pete wins, then I guess I can't tell you you're wrong.  But if you stick to your principles while hoping Pete wins...cling to them like a life preserver, I guess.

    Because I believe its contrived by berniebrosises and not a "political movement?" Okay, I'm really hung up on it. In fact, I couldn't sleep last night. If Pete were straight, would there be a queersagainstpete "political movement?" Like there's a queersagainsttrump "political movement?"

    @OnWis97 in fairness, this poster believes the Communist Revolution of 1917 was a good thing. So it's really tough to find a compromise position when that's the starting point.  
    If I started by saying that I thought the Holocaust was a positive because there were too many Jews anyway, you'd have a hard time compromising with me on the appropriate penalties for hate crimes in this country.

    You should read Corey Robin's work, especially the revised edition of this work (which contains a chapter on Trump): https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-reactionary-mind-9780190692001?cc=us&lang=en&

    Elsewhere, Corey has repeatedly compared Trump's presidency to Jimmy Carter's in terms of what Trump has actually accomplished.

    Well that's his right...of course, if Trump is re-elected, I suggest he keep that to himself...

    @OnWis97 in fairness, this poster believes the Communist Revolution of 1917 was a good thing. So it's really tough to find a compromise position when that's the starting point.  
    If I started by saying that I thought the Holocaust was a positive because there were too many Jews anyway, you'd have a hard time compromising with me on the appropriate penalties for hate crimes in this country.  
    He's not asking for a compromise; he's asking me to compromise.

    Because I believe its contrived by berniebrosises and not a "political movement?" Okay, I'm really hung up on it. In fact, I couldn't sleep last night. If Pete were straight, would there be a queersagainstpete "political movement?" Like there's a queersagainsttrump "political movement?"
    Nevermind.

    Guilty as charged.  "All or none" isn't working too well.

    Curious...what currently living US citizen would you like to see be president?

    Not sure who is a leading US personality in that area.  How far outside of that philosophy can you vote?  Because I don't see one getting elected to, well, anything in the enforceable future.

    Generally speaking, I do not vote. I consider voting a form of violence (that statement should go over well here). After much soul-searching, I did vote in the 2016 presidential election, however.

    It's a hit at parties!

    Majoritarian rule is a form of violence; ergo, voting is a form of violence.

    We are getting pretty far afield from the thread's main topic, though.

    The best for the LBTQ community, the communists, the women who are about to have a baby, the animals, pearl jam fans and everyone in between, is Bernie Sanders.

    This is one of the starangest posts I've ever read on this board (and that's saying something). First off, as the 2016 election showed, it's not about majoritarian because Trump didn't get a majority of the votes. Secondly, what the hell type of system would you prefer if you think voting is a form of violence? Dictatorships? Monarchies?

    I don't think you're totally off base here but isn't there a difference between democratically electing leaders and employing a democratic vote on individual laws? Is there a primer on how you make decisions from an anarcho-communist perspective in a country set up like the US? Or does it require stripping down the idea of state govt, federal govt, etc.?

    See above: anarcho-communism.
