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

    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.
