Honestly, I think the left needs to lean into shit like this post. Just loudly pretend Biden is the best president ever and should be unanimously elected god-emperor of the earth for life. We can have the real adult discussion when some jurisdiction finally smacks Trump with something that’ll bar him from office (or he kicks the bucket) and enough of the boomers have died off that the Republican party can’t win purely by catering to the most deranged of them. Or at least wait until 2028 when we have Democrat primary.

I don’t think that people are dumb, but most are too distracted, tired and disengaged to see “vote as harm reduction” as meaningful motivation to vote for someone. Nuance does not make for good propaganda, and while propaganda is distasteful, it’s necessary.

Even if you’re of the opinion that the only way to effect meaningful change is through violent revolution, the far left in this country does not have and is not in a position to co-opt the infrastructure necessary to do that, nor the widespread political support.
