    Bernie Sanders is the single most popular politician in the USA due to bipartisan support, even if he hasn’t been the most popular primary candidate to democrats.

    I bet the voices of dissent would be Tankie and Anarchist accelerationists who see him making things better as dodging a violent revolution.

      Anarchism = \ = barberianism

      Anarchism = \ = violence

      Pacifist-anarchism is what i personally subscribe to.

      Absolute do vote, and i am a huge fan of Sanders but also know that voting will not improve things, it will just slow down things getting worse. More time to fix things.

      Slow collapse will still continue till we fully transition to a permanent sustainable society. Transition will or will not happen regardless of any single nations temporary elected officials.

      The game we are playing is much bigger then a few suits performing geopolitics. Emergent complexity hits you like the great filter

        Accelerationist = Supporters of the downfall of society, people who act to quicken a societal collapse

        You see that word in there now? Does that clear things up?

          It makes me understand your view better but not sure if the term is accurate in this context or such people are common in reality.

          I know there are trump voters who argued he will destroy the current system which they hate but such is not specific to anarchism.

          Humanity going extinct doesn’t really match the ideals of individual freedom most schools of anarchy are centered around. Unless you consider some form of extreme eco-anarchism where the freedom for nature tops all others.

              Defense of what?

              I believe the only reason people don’t realize they are already anarchists (everything is and always has been and will be) is because they don’t know what anarchism is. Instead people associate it with violence and rebellion. Triggers me to elaborate on it because i truly believe awareness of its reality is the answer to sustainable peace.

              You may have a tiny point in my bias though. I believe stuff must get worse to get people to build something better and some signals of collapse feel like progress. But to turn that into speed running a total destruction of mature moral intellect and refusing to improve things now is plain ridiculous and somewhat of a strawman.

      They will ask you to waste your vote on 3rd party because genocide and will be surprised the even more genocidal guy wins again because of it.

        Technically Bernie is the third party, but yeah its going to take cooperation from the DNC to not spoil each others candidates if we run a lot of third party.
