I feel like that fatalistic attitude is too commonplace. That it’s inevitable that fascist takeover, although Biden is not my favorite in any way, shape, or form, I would still have anything other than a fascist takeover with popular support. I feel like that kind of defeatism only sets us up for failure like in the Francoist revolution. Spain’s left was so bitter that they really couldn’t join together when the shit hit the fan.
Chin up man, of course we will join on the barricades if that happens. Don’t let them live in your mind so much, let them “minecraft” in your mind.
“we all saw this coming in 2016 with Hillary Clinton but y’all let that go ahead and it didn’t work so we’re in this mess now. Biden barely worked in 2020 and he’s a liability for 2024. it feels like y’all don’t even care and would rather trump in any any sort of progressive candidate. notice how the republicans never try this strategy and still win even when the fundamentals run against them and only get worse. candidate voters like => turnout is a simple formula. taking your voter base’s votes for granted because of flawed game theory and trying to reach for people who aren’t gonna switch doesn’t work well. and the voters you’re losing aren’t the ones who are politically engaged enough to argue politics on the internet. they’re the ones who don’t bother showing up to vote unless they see someone they like because otherwise what’s the point? they think. and they’re not even wrong to feel that way. give people something to vote for and they’ll vote. shame them like this and they don’t.”
Oh yeah dude I did that, I voted for Clinton in the primaries over Bernie. I chose Biden because I wanted to make concession to the far right and not because the other option was literally Donald Trump. 🙄 stop projecting your beliefs about Biden voters onto me.
