  • We told you it was a losing issue. You called us Russian bots and tankies and trumpists because that was easier than listening to something you didn’t want to hear.

    I voted for Harris. But that doesn’t mean I’m blind to the suicidal boneheadedness of the pro-genocide centrist wing of the Democratic Party. We tried to warn you. You thought you knew better. In your overwhelming and unearned arrogance, you concluded that anyone that was willing to read the writing on the wall couldn’t possibly be an actual person with agency.

    Now go hug Dick Cheney. He’s the only vote any of you cared about.

    If the anti-genocide left were too insignificant to treat like humans, they’re too insignificant to blame. Centrists ran the campaign they wanted. Their instincts were and remain shit.












  • At the minimum, ranked choice voting needs to be put in place

    Ranked Choice Voting is a pipe dream with no realistic plan for implementation, particularly in states that don’t allow for referenda. Incumbent politicians aren’t going to vote for something that jeopardizes their continued incumbency. And that’s at best. At worst, it’s another in a long list of milestones that centrists present, after which they totally promise that progressives’ concerns will be addressed and they won’t just come up with another milestone.

    The rest of your comment has RCV as a prerequisite.
