Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can’t help but notice the anti-Biden “left” shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.

Almost like the people stoking these fires don’t really care about left issues at all.

    “Progressives” with enough privilege that they think that if it comes down to it, they can always bend the knee to avoid the wall.

    These people tend to be rabidly accelerationist, cause it’s not their lives and livelihoods on the line.

    This line of thinking allows you to be an ideological purist and denounce any incrementalism or harm reduction as antithetical to the cause, stirring up infighting.

    It also happens to be an excellent strategy outlined in the CIA’s saboteur handbook. (Literally, Google it, download the PDF from CIA.gov)

          harm reduction is recognizing the bad thing is going to happen, and helping people mitigate the consequences. it has a specific meaning, and voting is not harm reduction.

            The bad thing that will happen is Project 2025. We can mitigate that by voting for candidates that want nothing to do with Project 2025.

              your falling for (or perpetrating) an informal fallacy called “equivocation”. voting is not harm reduction.

                  i don’t think that’s true, i think democrats don’t care about the people who are harmed when democrats are in power.

                    You are way out numbered on .world. I think I’m just going to block the entire site because the cognitive dissonance is so bad.

                    I’ll miss rational people like you but c’est la vie!
