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

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.
