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.
“no we’re innocent socialists!”
“democrats aren’t progressive enough and therefore must be defeated”
“you can’t accuse me of parroting russian disinformation talking points just because I’m using the same words and arguments”
Accelerationism is a position that is literally only possible to hold from a position of privilege.
I'm sure crashing through the decline into fascism looks like a great idea when you know you're high enough on the kill list to avoid the actual consequences of fascism happening.
The white left never saw us as allies, only as fodder.
Now, remember kids: if an unpopular Democratic presidential candidate doesn't win an election, who do we blame? That's right: literally everyone to the left of us. That's how you make progress in a country, after all: Demonizing the left in the same way conservatives do. And why do we do that? That's right, it's because we're secretly conservative, too. We just tolerate gay people more, but don't want actual social or economic progress. Repeat after me: "unfavorable political outcomes are everyone else's fault but mine!"
Accelerationists would be encouraging people to plow ahead with Biden so trump wins...
Not trying to maximize chances to beat trump while there's still time before the candidate is named.
trump is a huge threat to American democracy, and I dont see any other reason why so many people insist on a sub optimum candidate except they don't care if trump wins.
It might be different if Biden didn't have a 37% approval rating or a 56% disapproval rating.
But people just don't like Biden, for various reasons he's just not popular with voters. That's why people bring up multiple reasons why Biden isn't a good candidate, there's just a lot of them. And added together they might let trump win like he did in 2016
If you think leftists “just” shifted to hating Biden, I’ve got news for you. In fact, I don’t know anybody, I mean ANYbody on the left that has nothing but distain for Biden for the last several years. Did you ever consider that people are allowed different opinions from you without being paid operatives.
I don't want trump, I've said before that I think that his complicity in Gaza isn't only abhorrent but will lose him the election. Not exactly a stretch to then say "Oh and it turns out he is sunsetting too?" It sure seems like somebody else would be a better call to again not have trump. Give me Whitmer, Warren, Buttigieg, Duckworth, Ocasio-Cortez, Warnock, or Abrams and I'll be happy.
Not a tankie. I don't want the US to collapse and burn, that's going to end badly for a lot of people. I want us to reform and do better, though I'm now convinced that that's not going to happen. I point this stuff out because I don't think Biden can win. I didn't think he could win last time, in all fairness, but he was and is a weak candidate, whose only shot lies in the democrats making the gamble that his opponent is weaker, which is kind of a stupid gamble to make imo. I don't want Trump to win, I want the democrats to hit the republicans like a run away steam engine and smash this fascist bullshit into the dirt. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN FOR RONALD REAGAN'S GRAVE TO BELCH BLACK SMOKE FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT THIS NOVEMBER. Instead we're gambling if the guy who would have got sent home from being a Wal-Mart greeter with his debate performance can beat the guy who wants to hold military tribunals for political opposition. When Biden loses, I'm going to skullfuck the first Democrat who high-mindedly tells me this is really the fault of people not voting for their guy. No shit, do you want a gold star for that? Turns out when people don't vote for candidates, they don't win, whoda thunk it? Apparently not the goddamn DNC, since they keep seeing the ever-lowering RNC bar as an excuse to run correspondingly worse candidates each year instead of running a rock star that would shatter the Republicans. OH, what's that, the republicans have opened a portal to Hell and are running just Hitler and Charlie Manson for their ticket? Oh boy, Joe Biden might be too far left to win against that, we better see if we can get the actual corpses of Milton Friedman and Henry Kissinger to run for us. Fuck off. Of course people aren't excited to vote for a shitty candidate, because they're a shitty candidate. Get someone who can speak in complete sentences for God's sake.
Liberals joke that leftists just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the pro-Biden "left" shifted hard from “there is no genocide in Gaza” to “genocide is an acceptable side effect of democracy” without skipping a beat or looking back or acknowledging the complicity of the Democratic Party that allowed fascists to rise to power.
Almost like the petit bourgeois liberals stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.
Leftists: you're running a corpse that's committing a genocide that tons of tons of younger voters are actually protesting against. Also no Democrats only when elections when voter turnout is high. We should run a more likable candidate so we don't lose to the fascist?
Liberals(the scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds kind): That's accelerationism! you want Trump to win. This isn't like 2016 all over again but also Running Hillary was the right decision. People just voted wrong. 🤡
If Biden stays in and Trump wins, I just want you to know you're the useful idiot fuck you.
I mean, to me its been pretty obvious that Biden has been sundowning rapidly for a while now.
Its also been obvious to me that, barring Trump being incarcerated, Biden will lose.
Incarceration for Trump is now looking far less likely.
Yep, duh obviously I think you should vote for not Trump as he is an authoritarian mad man who has now been greenlit by the Court he largely shaped to go from proto fascist to full fascist.
But uh yeah why are people now talking about a very public display of the thing many Biden sceptics have been concerned about for a while now?
Could it be that their previously established fears and warnings have now been proven correct?
Yes, it makes the settler working class in this country more revolutionary. You can't turn a house slave into a freedom fighter until he gets put in the field.
