    If there was a progressive candidate with a chance to win, I wouldn’t vote for Harris. I’m well aware the system doesn’t allow for that; the system needs to be changed. Yet, this instance’s accelerationist fever dream of hoping for a rapture-like revolution once things get bad enough is not an effective means of accomplishing your noble goals.

      He didn’t ask about hypothetical alternative candidates, they asked what principle you hold that would prevent you from voting for her - i.e, what action would Kamala Harris have to take to make you feel she was as bad as or worse than Trump? Would you support her if she nuked Iran? France? Minnesota? If she had immigrants shot? Your family? Would you still vote for Kamala Harris in the upcoming election against Donald Trump if she personally executed your family?

        a bunch of Michigan voters answered this question pretty soundly in the negative on election day

      I don’t expect there to be a real revolution in amerikkka I expect this country to fracture into a civil war and get a taste of what it’s been doing to the rest of the world, maybe a real revolution can emerge out of that but that remains to be seen

      The only electoralism worth engaging in is local because that’s where we can build a larger movement and actually exercise some degree of power if we manage to win

      I just spent the last 3 hours standing at a protest against the genocide, while there I signed a petition to make our local power company state owned which was put forward by my state assembly representative (literally the only Democrat I’m voting for) who managed to win her primary against her DNC and AIPAC backed challenger

      What have you done today? Anything besides scolding some communists who hate you and will literally never vote of Holocaust Harris no matter what you say? Didn’t think so
