      who suggested doing nothing?

      Are you so intellectually impoverished you cannot imagine anything outside the strict binary of “do nothing” and “press button that does nothing”?

      At least pressing the button is doing something cause I’m moving my arm?

      I suggest Lenin to start off with, then finding likeminded people to work with. Turns out it actually is possible for the masses to “do something” very funny.

      Here’s a deal. I’ll press your button and vote blue if you join a communist party and begin organizing (please read Lenin before contributing suggestions to your new comrades though). If trump is such a fascist threat we should do everything we can right? After all, Hitler and the fascists so hated communists the first things they did was lock them up and break the unions with violence. Then it was the communists eventually who saved the world from fascism. Communism has a proven track record defeating fascism and surely “it’s the lesser of two evils” right?

      If we’re being so realistic and pragmatic, why don’t we use historical evidence for how to beat Trump?

      “Now he is a communist”

      What part of that sounds like he’s doing nothing? Do you have any clue what communists do? Like, you can go ahead and open What is to be Done and at no point does Lenin say “yes and at this point you wait and do nothing,” feel free to investigate the matter and call me out if I’m wrong.
