A country built on exploitation is never going to serve the poor.

I'm even less invested in this election now. I didn't think it was possible unless I moved out of the US.

You would think this would drive some of them away from electoralism, but they're all doubling down. I honestly don't know how to break them out of it. It's a fucking brain disease.
I think deep down, it's cowardice. Many of the demsoccs and socdems and all of the DSA "activists" know deep down that the only alternative to electoralism is actual rebellion. Not waving signs or peaceful protest or posting on twitter, actual rebellion. And since they are not willing to do that, they have to believe in electoralism.

More than that, he isn't firmly committed to the civil rights issues of our time-- eco-fascism and migration, the concentration camps for refugees. This is the new moral litmus test for political actors, the way the Iraq War of 2003 also was a precipice.
History will judge decisively what those with power in the global north choose to do in the upcoming decade. I sincerely doubt any US politician close to a shot at power has the vision, courage or even desire to dismantle the system of citizenship and alienhood.

If BS wins, it's either an Olympic level gridlock on Congress or a short presidency.
