Almost every single post that mentions Biden has a struggle session in the comments

But Biden losing (if he loses) won’t, by itself, make anything better - and might make things worse

It’ll make things better insofar as the neolib wing of the party will lose the political mandate it won with Bernies loss and invigorate the progressive wing of the party, which not to sound too libish or whatever would maybe be a good thing

My take is that voting for Biden isn’t significant harm reduction, but not voting for him/Trump winning isn’t either.

I am not claiming not voting to be “harm reduction”. At least, it’s not the primary intent. I could see how not voting could have positive side effects, like the Dems get wiped out and replaced by a good left party (I don’t think nearly enough people will stay home to make that happen, but that’s what would happen if they did).

But my non-vote has nothing to do with harm reduction. I’m just not voting because they both suck and neither one bothered to do anything to earn my vote.

If the dems want my vote that bad, they should offer me something. Not continue being the warmongering grifters they are, and then scold me for not voting.

i’m not talking about acceleration or “our turn”

but the left was weaker under Obama.

I don’t care about Trump, he’s bad but he’s a known quantity.

DNC is a belligerent anti-left political bulwark. I just want to see DNC lose, and lose big

Imagine holding onto hope after super Tuesday or whatever.
