This begs the question: what's the alternative?

If it's a third party candidate, I have yet to see a candidate popular enough to be competitive in the general election. Voting for a candidate who's not popular enough to win does not slow the side to fascism.

If it's some non-electoral alternative, what are you waiting for? Voting for the lesser evil does not prevent you from taking other direct actions.

I proposed to my wife at Christmas by putting the ring in a bigger box so she was surprised. It was a box for skincare product, and she was actually excited for it before she even opened it to see the ring. Obviously she was happy for the proposal, but she also seemed a little disappointed she didn't get skincare stuff.

The following Christmas, I got her a tiny container of a skincare product she liked and put it in a ring box.

Wait until you hear about the Veruca Gnome

Who knows, maybe the accelerationists are right and this term will be so bad leftists will actually unify and start acting strategically.

Probably not, but maybe.

The far right has gotten their act together, productivity-wise. They're out there publishing a literal handbook, and they step in line to implement it.

Where's the left's Project 2025? Blue-no-matter-who has always been a time-buying strategy. But if you want things to go great, we have to do something with the time we buy.

The core of that something is organization. Not just locally (though yes, locally), confederate with other groups. Until we have a MAGA level movement with MAGA level engagement and MAGA level narratives, the left will remain a fractured archipelago.

That means getting along with all the thousands of "wrong" leftists long enough to build common ground. That means a dead-simple, unified narrative. That means recognizing poisoned vocabulary and framing policy in more 'murican terms.

Just in general, swallowing our pride to focus more on getting results than being right.

Step by step. I'd rather push left from the Democrats' status quo than the Republicans'.

Maybe early detection?

"You can add the frequentive suffix and call the pig a gruntler" sounds like profanity from a sci-fi movie.

I'm not sure you understood my point.

They could digitize creatures and encapsulate them in pocket sized containers. Their tech is a bit more advanced

I'll have you know I was extremely intelligent at 15. Tested genius levels, at least 95th percentile, probably as high as 98th.

I was still an idiot kid.
