    The ballot or the bullet. You act like America winning the revolution was the end of our trouble. The revolution did not end slavery. The revolution did not create equality. It secured the colonies for a new imperialistic super power.

    Yes, if there is no ballot, then it is the bullet.

      I’m saying the opposite. We are a country born of violent revolution that was built on slavery, genocide, and imperialism

      Currently, we are owned by oligarchs. They will not permit us to use elections to save the working class. Which is why we can prolong our demise with Biden, or experience our obliteration immediately with Trump. There is no better option and there never will be.

      Given that, what should the working class do?

          I’ve told you

          No you haven’t.

          Voting for Biden will not improve conditions for the working class. Voting for Trump will destroy the country

          So what is to be done?
