If he wins the American left will be dead for an entire generation, you can't normalize genocide in a country and then try to build any kind of genuine movement out of that posionus soil, Bidens regime has had an absolute accelerationist effect on American politics/fascism

Which is why I think he'll win, Biden is the more competent fascist and plenty of elites realize that

We weren't exactly kicking ass under Trump either.

I disagree, remember the liberal panic when Bernie's sorry ass won Nevada, ever since Trump came down that elevator there was a real momentum building up before Biden and covid obliterated it

We made Obama pick up the phone and forced every DNC candidate pretend to support universal healthcare

Of course now it's obvious the last hurrah was the rebellions during the summer of 2020 and today we'd be lucky to get a "left" that opposes genocide and child cages at the border

Trump scared a bunch of left curious Libs into being turbo DNC Stans. Vaushism and adjacent forms of Succism burst in popularity under Trump. Obama being a letdown was probably more radicalizing than Trump, Trump was seen as an aberration that made the neoliberal establishment seem better by comparison.
