PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

    and is nothing more than a figurehead

    Fine by me.

    Come November, I will not be voting for an old guy named Biden. I will be voting for the Biden administration, an administration that rejoined the Paris climate accords, has made progress wrt medical debt, has seen decreasing levels of uninsured Americans, and made progress on myriad other issues. Because the alternative is…well, you know.

    I am not voting for my ideal candidate, or my ideal administration, but that’s because 1) I’m not an accelerationist, and 2) I’m smart enough to know how this works given our deeply flawed voting system.

    I’m not sure you can really have it both ways — the only alternatives for someone who doesn’t want Trump but won’t vote for Biden that I see are accelerationism, or complete and utter naivety…which is functionally equivalent to accelerationism.

      I don’t agree that those are the only avenues left. Biden is vulnerable to a replacement campaign now. We can sidestep the entire thing. Get a good admin and a president strong enough to fight the inevitable reactionary shit from red states.
