Stop pretending like politicians are going to save us. 95% of them are complicit or are simply making too much money from the status quo to want to change things. We’re going to have to actually roll up our sleeves and organize ourselves if we want real change.
It is literally anti-defeatist. I am telling people to take more action to guarantee our democracy. If you still think the government wants to run a fair election this year, you haven’t been paying attention. The best way to make sure that doesn’t happen is to make sure our grassroots politics are stronger than theirs, so go out and organize!
Defeatism is acting like we only have to put up with Trump until midterms or at worst next the election cycle, while doing nothing except post on social media.

This is the defeatist shit attitude that people in power want you to have. Give up, go home, take it without lube.
You can run, you can support other candidates, you can get involved. But you are choosing defeatism.
