No? That’s OP’s comment. I specifically said he would need to win against Harris or Newsom. Reading comprehension devil strikes again.

I didn’t think it needed an explanation that 4 more years of the exact same thing (or worse) is not going to help you organize some movement to vote in a leftist. That’s what accelerationists said about this presidency. Now we need another 4 years?

I don’t want a lifetime of “the most important election of our lives” where the DNC convinces half the country they have to vote for the “Republican but kinda okay with gay people” candidate. We as a nation cannot survive it. Real change is required, and until the DNC is willing to give it we must use the only leverage we have.

Well what’s the alternative? 40,000 Americans die yearly from lack of healthcare, under both Republican and Democrat leadership. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are dead under both Biden and Trumps leadership.

We’re literally not going to survive this term. We’ll be lucky if we can still sell bonds at the end of this presidency. If we can’t, everything collapses

The number of people dead from USAID cuts (some of that aid would have gone to Palestine too) will pale in comparison by the end of this presidency tbh. There’s no use in both-sidesing this just because you apparently deem childhood TB and malaria deaths acceptable

What the fuck do you think the left is doing? At the end of the day the DNC tells progressives to go fuck themselves then either cancels primaries, or rigs it then brags about the rigging in court. Your options are 40,000 dead Americans every single year for the rest of your life, or to eat the damn frog once and see a prosperous society on the other side.

When we gain power again USAID will be funded again. But people are going to die no matter what, no matter who wins 2028. Hundreds of thousands of bodies. Trying to say “well you think these deaths are acceptable” is a null point because everyone who has picked a side in this has accepted the reality of death.

-1

Which is why my argument is that we need a non AIPAC/ non-closet-Republican candidate from the dems? If the nominee is Newsom, Harris, Shapiro etc. then what I described is an inevitability. Doesn’t matter what we do frankly, they will lose and either we all die or the backlash saves us. My only argument is that there is the possibility of a better outcome if the backlash saves us. If a conservative dem wins, there is only one possibility, that things continue to get worse

No, you aren’t. If republicans never won an election again and we only got moderate republicans like Newsom for the rest of our lives a million Americans would be dead by 2050 from our healthcare system ALONE. Not including any other failing institutions, and not accounting for the growth in population that will increase the yearly death toll. There is no minimizing that comes from moderates. Progressive or bust. M4A or bust.

I’m so confused about who is who rn. But for the record my argument is that Newsom/Harris/whoever winning is actually more helpful for the fascists than if someone incompetent and lacking ideological motivation like Vance wins.

Yes and? All meaningful change in human society ever has depended on violence. The reason we are here today in a liberal democratic society is because people were willing to die for that. All of Western/ Central Europe rose up roughly every 20-25 years for over a century in Liberal revolutions against absolute monarchy, and got slaughtered in the thousands over and over. There was a time when it seemed like the divine right of kings would never end. Well that’s where we’re at with capitalism.

Is your argument just cowardice then? I am alive as a consequence of my ancestors surviving literally hundreds of years of imperialism, conquest and genocide. Why should I sit back and be content with being oppressed, when millions of brave people around the world have died for freedom, and when millions more are yet to do so. A better world is possible. Socialism will win.

Yes that’s how a revolution works. You massively overestimate how many people would actually do anything about it though. 30% of the country is the total GOP membership. You think even a quarter would be motivated AND capable of fighting? The reality is that revolutions and civil wars are decided by deceptively small slices of the population. Most people just pick a side further down the line or as convenient.

Ignoring the division and seperation of modern society, it’s hard to do anything with an individual when we are talking about a demographic of 80 million people. You can convince a fascist to not be a fascist in the time the two of you could have brunch, but you can’t have brunch all of a sudden with 80 million people.

Vance has financial motivation. He is the bought and paid for patsy of the NRX movement. You want accelerationism? Sure. Good luck dealing with the plutocrats who will snap up resources from the people while the chaos ensues. It happened in slow-motion as the Soviet Union crumbled, it will happen far faster as the US shatters.

Literally just consequentialism. A Newsom or Harris victory does nothing except ensure someone 10x worse than Trump wins in 2032. Either the dem nominee is someone mildly decent or literally the best hope for this country is that Vance is incompetent and does whatever the minimum reasonable damage he might do is. If a conservative in the nominee then the *good* outcome is a few million people die. People do not realize how utterly fucked up our situation is, and so are interpreting trying to be

You’re acting like I called for the fucking nukes to drop or something. The MAGAts won’t cause a global societal collapse, a destruction of the dollar? Probably. A global war that we lose ending the American empire? Maybe. All of those things humans have lived through, dozens of times.

If you really think Curtis Yarvin and Thiel's wet dream prez is the best option you are not on Earth. Yes, the US system is headed to collapse. But the way it comes apart will determine what it becomes after. Acclerationism is these billionaire freak's dream. They will fare better than anyone else, and may come out even more powerful.

We’ve been at war for basically our entire lifetime, and no nukes have dropped in that time. We’re currently in what is effectively a global war with how dead set we are to bring China into the conflict and we haven’t even tested the missile warning systems. The nukes won’t drop, and even if they did there would be no society left to piece together.

Prove that they are hoping to use nukes. You can’t. They are dumb, and they are evil, but they aren’t complete and total morons, and more importantly neither are the ones who keep the launch codes. And nowhere did I ask for a collapse (if anything your violent upheaval of our systems would cause that). Simply that a short termed fascist regime would be better in the long term than a constantly flip flop between fascism and do nothing democrats for the rest of our lives.

I think he is the best option if the choice is him (who is unlikely to achieve even 10% of what they would want him to do) or a spineless Dem who will guarantee that the next billionaires’ puppet will do all of it. He is not my preferred candidate overall. I think we have *a chance* of surviving Vance. I do not think it is possible that this country survives whoever gets elected in 2032 if 2028-2032 is another failed neoliberal presidency.

Now I’m genuinely curious what you’d do in a Vance vs Newsom election? Am I gonna see you on the news for trying to overthrow the global hegemony? Will you accept that you side with the neolibs and vote for Newsom? Would you accept that I’m right and vote for Vance? Or would you just not vote and continue to blame everyone else for all the worlds problems on yikyak?
