The harm we're experiencing right now is a direct result of Biden's failure to hold Republicans accountable for their many crimes, and his appointment of Harris as his successor sans primary. Even if Harris had won 2024, that would simply guarantee an even worse republican win in 2028 instead. Real harm reduction involves electing politicians who will reduce harm, not delay it. You know how you make the Republicans unwinnable across the board? Force the Democratic party to run candidates that can beat "no preference."
I voted Harris, and I tried my god fucking damnedest to convince everyone I know to vote Harris too. It failed, because she couldn't beat an empty fuckin chair. How about we change our strategy? Instead of putting up with whatever slop the DNC feeds us, let's make sure they have primaries this time, and let's make sure they run people worth voting for.
100% with you on the note about actual primaries and hopefully some actual progressives this time.
I’m just tired of the people arguing that even come November, a vote for anyone other than Harris was somehow still a better choice.
I certainly wish she wasn’t the nominee, and the whole no primary was shady af, but once she was the candidate in the general election, she was the only viable choice for anyone who wasn’t an accelerationist or anti-western psyop.
