    Wanna know something crazy? You can not like the DNC, but still understand that it was fucking stupid to not vote for Harris (as we have all now seen).

    I’m so sick of people equating any kind of push back against this bs as making you a shill for the Democratic party. There’s just no room whatsoever for nuance. I’m a bootlicker because I didn’t throw my vote away against literal fascism. Ok.

    Most of us here that voted for Harris, did it while holding our noses. WE ARE NOT DNC SHILLS, WE’RE SIMPLY NOT IDIOTS.

      Many of our fellow lefties here have privilege they don’t recognize as having. They have no need for harm minimization because they won’t be targeted first. Its a rather first world problem to keep your self perceived purity clean when your not under seige and can just wait for the perfect candidate. Not everyone has a Mamdani on their ballot.

      All war is class war. All war is messy. From my interaction with tankies, anarchist, and otherlefty types and flavors; we don’t have a real movement or willingness to fight.
