This is one of the reasons why it's disappointing to hear progressives and center-left people talking about not voting for Biden over his response to Gaza. There are literally thousands of other issues where a second Trump term would disastrous. Plus, Trump would be disastrous to Gaza as well. Makes no sense.
It's worse than that. Even if by some miracle we make it out of a second round of Trump, the DNC isn't going to learn their lesson. They didn't learn it in the past when they lost, they aren't going to learn it now. They'll keep on doing the same thing they always do, maintain the status quo at the worst, and make limp progress at best.
The problem here is systemic to our election system. It's not going to be solved by pissing away votes through 3rd party and protest votes. The DNC won't give a single shit. The only way this gets solved is if we dismantle FPTP voting in this country, and push hard for election finance reform, and a ban on lobbying.
So in the end, it seems like a bunch of people are going to end up letting Trump slip into office, and it will be a disaster. Accelerationism only hurts people. It isn't going to result in a utopia.
We gotta vote in every election and vote hard left when possible. And it's gotta be millions of us.
Otherwise, we're getting more of this. But I'll keep doing my part.
Agreed. For what little it's worth, I'm doing my part.
Yeah like fascism.
