We have a democracy for as long as we can keep it. There's a good chance we just lost it. There's no sense in giving up our agency because neoliberals are institutionalists. We knew what the Democrats were. Our options this cycle ended up being Harris or fascism. The goal was to get Harris elected to stop fascism for four more years. Instead of doing everything in their power to help get Harris elected, accelerationists did everything in their power to sink Harris's campaign. We broke our only tool over our knee and threw it away because it wasn't a better tool. Doing so wasn't useful. edit: typo

Now people are beating a dead horse. Neoliberals are neoliberals. Fascists are fascists. Spend this energy attacking the MAGA movement.

It’s useless to attack maga in a space where everyone agrees it’s shit. However I see lots of people on here acting like Harris isn’t complicit in genocide.

I mean finding ways to attack the MAGA movement that convinces people to vote for Harris. There are people on lemmy who aren't as politically engaged or as far left as we would hope. But more importantly, this is a space to spread ideas which can then be spread to the wider internet.

Biden is complicit, because he's the president and it was his decision. She's the vice president, who does not have that power, so she's not.
