I think a key difference here is that you believe the left to be represented in any way by the democrats. No matter which major party wins the next election, the tasks at hand remain largely the same, and the severity of the crisis remains similarly the same. The Democrats are merely the more competent managers of empire, not a way to avoid fascism.
I don’t. The last thing I will say on the matter because this has become cumbersome to discuss is that if we had avoided Trump and gotten Harris, things would not be as they are now. People like me would not be in the danger that we are now. We warned about this, we begged the nation to prevent this. Both options are genocidal tyrants, but one of them would have had objectively less terror, destruction, and obstruction. But sadly, the people who have the privilege to say “they’re both bad so it doesn’t matter who wins until the revolution” will just not understand until they’re the direct target. People of color, queer people, disabled people, we are all expendable to those who can’t just pick the lesser of two evils in the meantime of working on rebuilding society from the ground up, starting with local communities, just because “both sides bad grrrr.”
