    So… Have you given up on all bloodless paths? In that case, why worry about the Democratic party at all?

    We’re too late to avoid mass suffering. We’re to late to go back to normal. We’re not too late to ride the wave to somewhere better.

    There’s no giving up. That’s just letting the fascists win. Things look bad, things are going to get worse… But it’s far from over

    We have to pursue all paths, all the time. We have to look for the cracks. The midterms are way too late to save us… But the pressure of the upcoming midterms are felt today, they can force resistance today

      So… Have you given up on all bloodless paths?

      No, but there are nonviolent paths of defeating fascism, but those require mass civic resistance, not electoral politics. What fascists fear the most isn’t violent partisans or bad polling; it’s workers organizing. Therefore, the people of America must organize and take power into their own hands, not wait for the ballot box to save them from people who evidently don’t respect the ballot box.

      In that case, why worry about the Democratic party at all?

      Because they act as a lightning rod, sapping the energy of the working class that could and should be used to organize and actively resist (and no, weekend marches don’t count).

      We’re not too late to ride the wave to somewhere better.

      Fucking exactly.

      Not nearly enough. The MAGA rank and file are still very much pro-Trump and will remain so even if his tariffs ruin everything, and Trump will start intimidating Congressmen who don’t do his bidding any day now like he’s doing to judges.
