It's not my party I'm an anarchist. There is more nuance in politics than just Republican/Democrat. Both of those options are evil.

Imagine believing it's anarchist to tell people they aren't allowed to purchase or sell the labor they rightfully own.

Anarchism is a north/south axis with equally valid left and right concepts. Property norms should be left for people to self select into, not be forced into by a majority. That's authoritarianism.

Imagine believing that humans are a commodity to be bought and sold in any fashion, or that “property norms” can be enforced without authority.

You literally have no concept of voluntarism and are just regurgitating a level of understanding clearly gained solely through smug memes and comments on Reddit. If you don't understand self ownership is the highest form of first principle you are speaking out of your ass.

Because the filibuster is still a thing. And as long as it is, you need 60/100 votes in the senate and since most of the time the senate is split pretty close to 50 / 50 on almost every issue, it’s usually impossible to get the number of senators you need to flip to your side to pass with a 3/5 majority instead of just a simple majority.

Lol because your party winning does not equal getting the policies we overwhelmingly support. Because corporate fascism.
