What a great idea. Let’s return to this exact same circumstances that gave us Trump. Because the next version of Trump that Democrats give us can’t possibly be as bad.
Organize outside of the two-party system and against the system itself directly. Stop treating voting like it’s possible to get political change with it.
I think it’s pretty clear than it can get political change, the question is if it can cause the kind of radical systemic change that we eventually need
It would be reductive to say that elections make absolutely 0 change whatsoever, I agree, which is what I meant when I said “political change.” The DNC and GOP fighting is bourgeois infighting over which factions of capitalists have power.
Wasn’t that because she thought it would prevent a republican win by pitting her against an easy opponent? Hillary was more stupid and arrogant than malicious there.

Clinton literally supported his primary run

regardless of her reasons, she is to blame
