I was looking for a Cowbee quote that I thought I remembered that it was impossible for Russia to be imperialist, by definition, because it was opposed to the US and that means it can't be imperialist. Clearly. I found this, though, and got distracted from the original mission:

Like I said, why not try to get some people elected in the next cycle?

Because electoralism cannot establish Socialism. The Squad are not Socialists, they are Social Democrats. The only Socialist you can vote for is Claudia De La Crúz, and she cannot win because she cannot get 270 votes.

I am not “proving your point,” it is physically impossible to do what you’re suggesting.

Physically impossible for a socialist to win an election. Clearly. Which is why we need to vote for socialists.

At our current rate its looking like it might be easier just to start a new country. Let the Redhats take theirs and we'll build some place sensible.

Honestly it's not a bad idea. Playboy Magazine did that with Vermont in the 70s, just recommended that all the sensible people who were alarmed and disgusted with the Nixon stuff all move to the same state and try to take it over, and to this day, Vermont is kind of a nice place to live because enough sensible people moved there to have a big influence.

I vote for New Zealand. IDK how the locals would feel about a whole bunch of smelly Americans all migrating there at the same time but if they let us in, it definitely looks like a pretty sweet location.

NZ is currently under a right-wing government, and is extremely unaffordable to live that many young people are leaving to Australia, which itself is unaffordable to live.

Get a bunch of mobile homes and move to where distrcicts are gerrymandered the most and flip 'em.

That's where Thiel and zuck and a bunch of other people with their ideals have bought islands and built bunkers.

Even better, we can come in disguised as prostitutes and then take over their bunker.

Better go armed, then. I wouldn't be surprise if they have armed drones, but I can be wrong.
