No. Harris did almost everything right. The only mistake she made was not being more radical. She needed to offer answers, but Trump offered more. She needed to admit where Biden fucked up, but she didn’t. She needed to be a populist reformer, but that would never have happened from her. She tried her best, but was set up to fail.
Biden needed to be a 1 term president after the midterms, but nothing helped him realize that. He needed to accept his limitations earlier. An open primary from the start was needed. I was wrong about that myself.
All of that is true too. But we can’t control Biden or Harris or DNC consultants. And I doubt they will listen to us. We can choose to make a case to voters and delay fascism for four more years. We can use that time to create a populist campaign.
It’s going to be a lot harder to do that now. Criticism isn’t the issue. It’s the inability to detach a person’s ego, their self-image, from what needs to be done in the moment. The people we are arguing with cannot seem to do that. It didn’t help them during the election. It’s not helping them now.
I’m not perfect at this. And there’s a limit to how good at minimize our egos, anyone can be. We can’t get out of our egos, it’s a part of the human condition. But we can focus on being useful over being moral.
Why do we need the Democrats? Outside of relevant politicians in our cities, the party is obsolete. Elections are toast, and keeping them around when we can get rid of the worst of them is prudent. The accelerationists got what they wanted, so we need to do what the larpers wanted to do better than they can.
The old game is over, and while the new one doesn’t yet have a meta, leaving the establishment behind when possible will benefit us the most.
Our first-past-the-post voting system mathematically leaves us with two parties. Bernie tried to hijack the Democratic Party which is what Trump did to the Republican Party. If the Democratic Party’s leadership goes to prison during the next four years there might not be much of a party left to hijack. We might end up having to build our own party with its own populist narrative and then get it to be the one party that competes with the Republican Party, which is the harder of those two options.
The meta is populism. If the corpse of the Democratic Party has enough juice in it, then it can be used to forward a populist narrative. If it doesn’t we’ll have to make our own from scratch. edit: typos

Full mask off. Full blue maga. Fuck off and die you subhuman cunt, you’re why me and my friends are gonna be put in fucking conversion therapy. You deserve every horrible thing you’ve worked so hard to ensure
