    trivializing the issue.

    How about we flip this around and talk about trivializing the issue of having a Trump-led slide into fascism and any attempt at leftist organising getting you thrown into a camp… while Palestinians are still getting bombed because Israel certainly doesn’t need the US’s help to produce arms. Mabye that’s an evil enough evil to convince you that the lesser evil is, indeed, the lesser one.

      Nobody is trivializing Trump. The fact is that the Democrats are getting worse and worse, and will commit more and more atrocities and crimes if nobody holds them accountable. Ask yourself why they’d rather have Trump become a president instead of stopping to aid in a fucking genocide? Also the Dems were happy to continue most of Trumps policies, like internment camps at the borders and building that infamous wall. By supporting the Dems no matter what all you get is the Dems in 4 years to be where the Reps are now.

        Trump is no less likely to support Israel, on top of that he’s a gazillion times more likely to support genocides within the US itself.

        That’s what you get by not organising civil society to move past the current bipartisan BS. Make the right policies popular and politicians will rise to support those policies because guess what, politicians want to get elected. Therefore, yes, it’s true that the solution is not electoralism, also, yes, it’s also true that you shouldn’t shoot yourself in both foot and knee by allowing democracy to be abolished and organisation, changing the mind of the people, to be made illegal.

        I’m sorry did Biden order the army to break up strikes with artillery or something. Must’ve missed that.
