    “In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.” – Kwame Ture

    Since you’re apparently incapable of identifying connective tissue, the link here is it’s always “this isn’t the right time”, “this is the election of our lives”, “we can’t brook dissension now”, “shut up and fall in line” every four fucking years; and y’all say the exact same shit every single time. You foist the exact same malfeasant grifter motherfuckers to ‘reduce harm’ in ways that never seem to trickle down to the ghetto. It never ends. You are that moderate. You are the eponymous Fox. If you weren’t, y’all would have ‘pushed Biden left’ enough to get the border camps closed by now.

      I absolutely identified the connective tissue; that one should be wary of moderates. That does not allow you to then insert your personally preferred solution and claim that it is supported by this quote by Dr. King. I could just as easily create this same post and swap out voting third party with armed rebellion and use your arguments verbatim for anyone who disagreed.
