A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

Fact: absolutely none of this would have happened if Kamala had won.
I hated that she sounded like a politician dodging questions with nonsense answers. She should have been direct and stopped worrying about being a different direction than Biden.
But yes with all those flaws she would have been better than Trump by miles.
Shame she decided to support wildly unpopular policy and messaging instead of winning.
Shame millions of leftists had advanced warning of Project 2025, chose to ignore it and boycott the only viable other candidate anyway, and now are living with the concenquences of that inaction.
But they’re still only blaming Kamala and the Dem party, rather than taking a moment for self reflection as to how they willingly surrendered the country to fascism and damned marginalized groups to hell on Earth.
Kamala was a shitty candidate, but the left who boycotted the vote owns their own inaction. It’s not Kamala’s fault everyone had a year advance warning on Project 2025 and chose to do nothing anyway.
A friend of mine was sincerely advancing the idea that it’s better that trump wins, because less-bad candidates like Harris just let people coast by without doing much as the world gets worse. He thinks something like Trump will be really bad, and people will demand more radical change. I think you can call that acellerationism. Pretty easy position to hold as a wealthy professional who owns property, I guess.
Personally, I’d rather people organize and try to make the world better without the worst people in the world having most of the power. Seems easier that way to me.
I find this to be the most common occurrence of accelerationists.
The most willing to send millions to their graves to achieve what they believe is socialism, while they themselves will never pick up a rifle and fight for it.
They’re identical to every fat cat chicken-hawk piece of shit that sends young Americans to die in wars for the profit of political donors.
Nothing we could have done would have made genocide, the MoSt lEtHaL miLiTary electable. The only thing we could have done was riot to get a candidate and policies capable of winning.
You’re missing the point entirely.
Everyone agrees Kamala was shit. That’s not the point.
The point is millions of leftists, the people who are supposed to be advocates for marginalized peoples, absolutely refused to be advocates for said marginalized peoples when the easiest possible way to do it was to show up and vote for Kamala.
Was Kamala shit? Yes.
Would all these marginalized people be sent to concentration camps whole the government abandons the rule of law entirely and ends democracy under Kamala?
Obviously no.
Yet so many millions of leftists, especially those in swing states, decided to surrender these marginalized people to the fourth Reich instead.
The only lesson here is not to get to the point where the only alternative to fascism are libs who would prefer fascism to socialism. We lost when we allowed the dems to run on unelectable policy.
My dude, that decision was made almost 250 years ago.
We were getting to that point by primary neo-libs out of office and putting in more and more progressives. Progressives willing to end the Electoral College.
That is entirely up in flames now. US democracy is gone. Its not “at risk”, its already fucking dead. Straight up gone and never to come back.
Boycotting Kamala didn’t make us rise above the 2 party system, it placed us firmly in a permenant 1 party system under fascism.
Nothing we could have done would have changed the outcome then. You can’t make sending the cops to kick the shit out of the activated college students who make up your ground game popular.
But she was going to kill Palestinians with her bare hands!
But uh but shes a woman. A brown woman. The horror,!
fun fact: i think it has nothing to do with it. it’s just that trump is a reality tv star and tv stars and entertainers tend to get elected in democracies (see england, italy, USA) because they know how to present themselves to the people in an “entertaining” way and also because harris refused to focus on the real buying power of people.
Maybe she shouldn’t have committed genocide in Gaza if having a chance of getting elected was important to her
Hey dipshit,
Trump supported the genocide in Gaza too.
The difference is Kamala wouldn’t be committing a genocide against minorities in the US too, while sending the military and her own Gestapo to US cities to crush dissent.
Trump IS doing that, we knew over a year in advance to the election that he would do that, yet y’all refused to support the one thing that would’ve prevented that, which was Kamala, like her or not.
Hope your hollow virtue signal of sticking it to the Dems is worth the pro-genocide option of letting Trump win and commit even more genocide, including inside the US.
These people dont actually care about Gaza. They just hate America. Makes a lot more sense when you realize that.
With the left, it’s never about being good enough or better than the right, it’s always about being perfect enough.
Yeah. But we would be listening to that laugh. I mean, did you even hear it?
I don’t think people are understanding your obvious sarcasm.
Yeah. That’s not surprising. The only thing worse than my sarcasm is a tan suit.
Clearly you’ve never put mustard on a hot dog
DIJON! Unacceptable!! Insert Lemongrab screech
