    Proper headline:

    “Harris Chose Billionaires Over Working Class; Voters Chose to Burn It Down Rather Than Submit to More Democrat Pretending”

    If the choice is between a fast death with Trump and a slow death with corporate Democrats morphing into Republicans, can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?

    We need progressive, true left politics if we ever want to recover.

      can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?

      Yes.

      One option has opportunity, the other is… This horseshit.

      Yes, I will absolutely blame any accelerationist, every time.

      Edit: If you think more people getting more hurt is OK because it might result in a more left future later, just fucking block me now please. And also gfy.

      I mean, yea, I will absolutely blame people that voted for Trump as the reason Trump got elected. Anyone that voted for the “fast death by Trump” is a red coat moron that ushered this in. I’d much rather deal with slimy Democrats that at least throw us the occasional bone and aren’t actively attacking various minority groups over the current fascist state of affairs.

      Suggesting that people that voted for him are somehow victims or not to blame is an insult to everyone else and gives credence and excuse to being a worthless human.

      I have an irrational fear of heights. That said, I’d rather go skydiving than a lot of other things involving heights because if it goes poorly, I’ll likely have instant death. Your framing of the issue gives me odd comfort. Thanks.

        The thing is that Trump isn’t a fast death. It’s not like in 3 more years we’ll all just be gone pain free. Most of us will have to keep going in whatever hellscape these Nazis bring upon us, which as shitty as the DNC and most Democrats are, that hellscape would probably be more tolerable.

        It’s more like skydiving into a hot desert without resources with Democrats, and skydiving into a desert full of racist cacti without resources with Republicans. You’ll likely survive the landing, but you have to earn everything yourself to survive and in one situation, racist cacti are inflicting pain, especially if you’re not white.

          Yep! You know the vast majority of people with this mindset are so privileged they think “it won’t be that bad for me” but many of us, women, POC, our lgbtq community all understand that we actually have very very much to lose because we don’t take what we have for granted the way privileged (white men) people do.

          The poison is not medicine and a lot of people are going to genuinely suffer, their is no “fast death” coming for anyone
