    I’ve been warning people about what was coming as far back as 2010, when I was a teenager. I have been telling people that “vote blue no matter who” would lead here, and people just derided me, called me a troll, I have been told endlessly that I’m making a slippery slope argument.

    When Bernie’s would-be victory was transmuted into Hillary’s defeat, that should have been a wake-up call for you. Your politicians are playing you like a fiddle. They would rather have fascism than even the mildest social democracy.

    History has vindicated leftists, again and again and again and again. Liberals, centrists, democrats, they are either in denial, or they’re fully onboard with fascism.

    Please, for once, listen to us. You need to help us stop this shit. We can’t just keep going on voting for the lesser evil forever.

    Organize, protest and elect. Emphasis on organize and protest.

    1. Get as involved as you can with activist efforts locally.
    2. Organize, network, focus on building solidarity. Join or form a union. Join the IWW.
    3. Vote at primaries and elections for the best candidate, even if you doubt they can win.
    4. Don’t punch down.
    5. Don’t punch left.
    6. Educate yourself, politically.
    7. Push for voting reform and for anything that breaks the two-party system.
