      If you believe they were genuinely left wing and not concern-trolling shills.

      it was so blatantly naked, too. we had to cordon trump from power, vote the republicans into irrelevance, and then launch a progressive political movement. now trump has near infinite power, voting may never happen again, and our progressive movement has to operate in an environment where participation may legitimately get you killed.

      this is why accelerationism doesn’t work. does chuck schumer seem like he’s learned his lesson to you? have you actually punished the democrats for running to far right? or have you punished uninformed voters and yourself for not knowing how horrifically bad donald trump is?

      the elites have always, and always had enough access to protect them. and running mutual aid networks is not somehow easier when everyone is dependant on them rather than just some.
