that lesser evil is doing nothing to prevent concentration camps and democrats are working to ensure that progressives are shut out. giving the democrats your support is not only not achieving these goals, it's actively working against them; so a different strategy is needed.

Giving the democrats support right before the election was the only thing we could do. Right now, we have time to regroup and get new blood elected. We can do activism voting right now, but if you didn't vote for Harris just to keep Trump out, you need to confront the fact that what were seeing right now is partially your fault.

what we're seeing right now is an imperialism boomerang and you're significantly more complicit if you continue to give your support to either party.

I'm giving my support to the people who are challenging the status quo, not to people promoting inaction. Your plan only strengthens the imperialists.
