Bruh Republicans are open about backing trump even if he goes to jail. Trump has openly talked about how he wants to get rid of the constitution. They could have prevented him from running again after his failed coup attempt and they let him off the hook.
At least some good has come from the Biden presidency, which tbh I didn’t expect at all. Some progress is better than no progress. 15 min wage for federal contract workers, an NLRB that is more pro-union than ever in my lifetime, an actual attempt at student loan debt reduction (which he should just nix via executive order but I digress), a 15% minimum corporate tax rate, bring back microchip manufacturing, and there’s more that I can’t list off the top of my head.
Babysteps sure, but it’s better than nothing and way better than the backwards trajectory we got during the trump presidency and beyond the trump presidency due to his SC appointments.
Perfect? Hell no. But something. We need to take the wins we can get while still hammering him from the left to do more.
We came to the conclusions because we want to avoid giving up. Once you realize that settling for “harm reduction” is also a form of giving up, you learn to think strategically and read people who think strategically about these things for real improvement. Like Lenin.
Unfortunately harm reduction is all we can do rn, unless you are ready to start a working class revolution, which would require the majority of the working class to be on board with us. And idk about you, but I don’t think the American working class is there just yet.
It ain’t there because people like you put more energy into performing in electoral theatrics for the enemies of the working class rather than investing that energy in organizing, educating, and agitating your fellow worker.
Or maybe I’m actually trying to help the working class by taking any win we can get whereas you’d rather watch the world burn than see the working class get any kind of win because it’s not big enough for you.

Your “harm reduction” president has not reduced much harm at all, no matter how you scramble in the dirt to try to hold up shiny things to wave at me.
It’s just
The last three years, especially with covid and climate change, were not wins. Even the pretense of slowing the damage down is weak to false now.
Jesus Christ might as well just give up on everything with your attitude lol
Being a leftist is coming to grips with how bad the situation is

I am begging you to take the energy you’re putting into convincing others to
and redirect it toward learning to handle a rifle.
Why not both…
