        it was so blatantly naked, too. we had to cordon trump from power, vote the republicans into irrelevance, and then launch a progressive political movement. now trump has near infinite power, voting may never happen again, and our progressive movement has to operate in an environment where participation may legitimately get you killed.

        this is why accelerationism doesn’t work. does chuck schumer seem like he’s learned his lesson to you? have you actually punished the democrats for running to far right? or have you punished uninformed voters and yourself for not knowing how horrifically bad donald trump is?

        the elites have always, and always had enough access to protect them. and running mutual aid networks is not somehow easier when everyone is dependant on them rather than just some.

        If you believe they were genuinely left wing and not concern-trolling shills.

      You mean the dude who fully supports this genocide and led us directly into fascism?

      Yes. Good thing nobody voted for that trash.

        The people like yourself, that complained about our only choice other than fascism, are the ones to blame for getting fascism elected.

      Joe Biden and his administration sent 8 billion dollars worth of hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs in January. He sent 20 billion in August. Your quotes aren’t necessary.

        We get it, that wasn’t enough for people like you so you help elect Trump and now you’ve got the genocide you really wanted.

          They’re both genocidal. It’s kinda obvious to anybody with a clue.

          now you’ve got the genocide you really wanted.

          You’re phony AF. What did you do to resist the genocide during genocide joe? What are you doing to resist the genocide now?

          It’s pretty clear that you’re not doing anything but attacking the victims and people who actually care. Fash enabler.

          It’s more about holding the dems accountable. They are supposed to represent their constituents, instead they chose to represent genocide to the point of losing an election against trump of all people.

          The bad guys in all this are ultimately the ones that enabled genocide and not the voters who abstained (other then trump and his fanatics obviously). The democratic party basically aimed for a low turn out and if we aren’t critical of them, we will get the exact same energy next time.

          I toed the line and voted strategically but the whole time, I was asking myself what the fuck they were thinking. Now that it’s over, I can’t really blame normal people that were conflicted about genocide.

            It didn’t hold Dems accountable. It got Trump elected because that was the intent all along.

            There are many constituents that support Israel. As you pointed out yourself it is a politicians job to represent those constituents.

            The bad guys in this are the bad faith actors that use Gaza to justify helping Trump get elected.

            They ALL claim they voted for Harris while in the same breath spreading FUD towards Harris.
