Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    Do you really think trump will be worse than Biden on free speech, protest and the gaza genocide?

    I think he’ll be at least as bad if not worse on those, and worse on countless other things.

    Do you think it’s all about winning?

    I think its all about mitigating fallout from the only 2 available outcomes for who becomes president.

        You’re conflating things.

        The fight should be happening regardless. The strategy should be to have that fight under the lesser evil of the 2 possible administrations.

            We’re past the line. We should already be pushing for alternatives. That changes nothing about the strategy of working with the actual possibilities that exist in front of us, today.

            And if you really think it’s about the terrain, why don’t you take an accelerationist view and push for the terrain that heightens the contradictions soonest?

            Because like both-siders, that’s a ridiculous and juvenile political take.

                When is it more important to use it for an alternative rather than perpetuate a possibly (I gotta emphasize this) less bad status quo?

                When there is a possibility for that candidate to win. Otherwise, vote strategically against the worse candidate of the 2 possible options.

                And I don’t ascribe to accelerationism but it’s not juvenile by any means.

                Good for you. Doesn’t change the fact that its tantamount to throwing a tantrum.
