      Since he collaborated on genociding Palestinians by bypassing Congress to ensure Israel got more weapons.

      Now he’s trying collaborate on a fascist anti-refugee border deal with the fascists and their fascist leader.

      Like???

        If you’re not voting, why haven’t you done something already to stop him?

        What would make me think that with your track record of doing nothing in the past, that you would start now?

            And what did he accomplish for the broader left, except eliminate somebody who could have been participating in direct action?

              The Arab Spring was started by a self-immolation in Tunisia. If there’s any form of protest that matters, this is it.

              It also showed the people struggling on the ground in Gaza that we aren’t all heartless monsters in the West, which is why PFLP and Hamas both came out in support. That matters.

              It’s also an inspiration to all of us and an indictment of our own cowardice. How can we sit at home too afraid to act when someone else can do something so awe inspiring? It’s humbling, and we need to be humbled.

              What the fuck have you done?

                Self-immolation is the one form of protest that matters to you? Your answer to leftists being inactive is to get them to kill themselves?!

                Literally doing what?

                  It’s the only protest that has ever accomplished anything. Point me to a single act of protest by any person in history that has ever accomplished as much as self-immolation.

                  Ask the PFLP and Hamas. They’re the ones that actually praised Bushnell and honored their sacrifice.
