Oh, are you under the impression that there’s a group of liberals (as in liberalism in general) out there that doesn’t coddle and appease and enable fascism that I could vote for? Because Democrats are putting up the most token of resistance at best, and meanwhile voting in support of the right’s shenanigans in congress. Schumer voted for the budget, 4 others voted just the other day for a bill that would effectively disenfranchise millions of women, etc.
If you walk into a voting booth and find someone holding a bomb who insists that your only choice for how to deal with it is to choose between a long fuse or a short one, the only sane thing to do is to say ‘Good luck with that’ and leave before you get caught in the blast radius. I voted blue for 30 years and it didn’t get me less fascism, why do you imagine it would suddenly start working today? The fascism is coming from inside the house.
No, she probably wouldn’t have been. But hey, if you’re comfortable cuddling up with that bomb because it has a longer fuse then by all means don’t let me stop you, just don’t act all surprised when it inevitably blows up anyway.
So you’re an accelerationist. Gotcha. The problem with accelerating into fascism is that not enough people have been made aware of their oppression along the way. This is far more likely to result in a lasting dictatorship than the revolution from a longer fuse.
What I am is not complicit with the motherfuckers who are blowing people up; the only solution to the trolley problem is to walk away, because the minute you put your hand on that lever—whether you pull it or not—you become at least partly responsible for every single death on those tracks. You can call that whatever helps you sleep at night.

Why don’t you run yourself?
I’m saying that Harris was not a fascist dictator. Simple as.
