    You’re “buying” that elections make organizing easier. Just like Homer is buying that a rock can keep tigers away.

      How would having a more evil leader, one who hypothetically locks down freedom of speech and starts arresting people, make organizing easier?

      Seems like that would make it harder to do.

        I don’t know how to explain to you that the issues we’re facing are systemic and don’t depend on the “right” individual being a leader.

          How did we get here? I never said we needed to have a “right” specific individual being a leader.

          All I’m saying is that I believe that if I have a choice to organize a progressive movement under either 100% Hitler or 90% Hitler. I would choose 90% Hitler. I feel like I’m not alone in that.
