Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the anti-Biden "left" shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.
Almost like the people stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.
I think this kind of highlights why the term "accelerationist" is a political fabrication, not an actual movement. No one I've met self-applies that label or wants fascism. I'd guess it's because that term was created as short-hand pejorative to suppress or dismiss those who are trying to create real pressure or who simply can't vote for someone so unapologetically genocidal.
I will not be voting for Biden ever again, but I will vote for nearly anyone else who might replace him because that would be enough of an indicator that Democrats can actually listen when pressed. They need to prove that if they want to win over voters who've been disillusioned by Biden's genocide support.
I think you kind of articulated something that was puzzling me about how uncompromising some people are being about the possibility of Biden stepping aside and how they refuse to even entertain what a boon that would be to democratic chances in November -- it's one thing to say people should vote Biden because you believe he's the only choice, it's an entirely different and more suspicious thing to try and pre-empt the possibility of someone else with less baggage replacing him.
There's signs of actual momentum in the party after the debate to try and find a way to convince Biden to step down (maybe by flattering his ego with his accomplishments or something and making him feel like he'll have a legacy besides that of a mass murderer). I don't see why anyone would dismiss that opportunity, given what we all know about Biden's rock bottom approval.
Got it, so you want Trump to win.
Such a bullshit response.
Yeah? How so? Come November and the only viable choices are Biden and Trump, saying you’re never voting Biden means you’ll be helping Trump.
Gnash teeth and stomp feet all you want, but that’s the reality. Want more progressive candidate? Start local and start early.
