Democrats spend far too much time and energy pretending everyone to the left of the Democrats are anti-electoralist anarchists.

getting that to happen isn't as simple as just saying you're against the genocide, because Harris did that and it wasn't enough. It isn't as simple as supporting unions, because she did that and it wasn't enough. It isn't as simple as supporting rights for women, minorities, and LGBTQ, because she did that and it wasn't enough.

Yes. You're absolutely correct that what the Democrats are doing is not enough. If the DNC can get that through their thick skulls, maybe we have a chance next time.

You can't just say you support unions.

You can't just say you're against genocide.

You have to make people's lives materially better, and until the Dems choose to do that, we're in trouble.

I'm an anti-electoralist anarchist and I voted for Kamala because I'm not a fucking idiot.

Until I see an exit poll showing that the folks who turned up for Harris were centrists and the left really did sit it out I’m not going to believe any claims to that effect.
