    Counterpoint, libs cared about kids in cages when it was trump doing it. Ive never seen so many people energetic and aware about government abuses. It was the same with war in the middleast when Obama took over from Bush. All the average antiwar blues stopped watching and couldnt car less about drone bombing funerals and ambulances.

    The two party system does not promote engagement or representation. I get this is a bigger issue than the election but my biggest fear is that the slow walk to fascism under the “we’re the good party” will be more enduring and successful than the attempts from Red to March forward.

    The average lib “shut up and vote blue or you support fascism” crybully will fall asleep again for four years and sleepwalk their way to the same goal without any self reflection along the way.

    Note this is not in favor of accelerationism, but a criticism of this idea that all we can do is slow the roll with a vote every now and then and throw our hands up.

      No one has suggested that idea. It certainly isn’t all we can do, but it is the minimum. The alternative is accelerationism.
