    Stop choosing your executioner. Wasn't Obama more than enough? It is shameful to encourage people to be more stupid than they already are ignoring even their own extremely short-term memory.

    Don't seek solutions (no matter what) in the system that caused the problem. The system is constructed and maintained to perpetuate itself. Election / Selection is the oldest way of co-opting any dissent.

    Don't vote for any candidate even if they consider themselves "revolutionary". Understand how the system works. Your "good" intentions are no excuse for the foul damage you cause if you ignore the evidence (present and in history).

    Fight to expose the REBRANDING of capitalist exploitation through the instruments of state politics. Fight advocating "voting" under any oppressive conditions (e.g., state regime and capitalism itself).
