    Honestly I don’t understand how mfs are still talking about harm reduction at this late date, the calculus is very simple and it does not involve holding dems “accountable” or whatever, it’s very simple; under a Trump admin the American left organizes better and has more room to breath, because liberals are forced to concentrate on Trump and have to offer symbolic opposition to the reigning regime, which gives us space to grow

    Yeah. 100%.

    And this isn’t also an accelerationist take because being an accelerationist means you want things to actually, materially get worse.

    No, I want a situation in which people will shut down the airports to prevent things from getting worse (Muslim ban) instead of one where people stay home assuming things can’t get worse, and Biden can effectively pass a Muslim ban while they’re snoozing…and then go ahead and start genociding Palestinians while a gob of fucking liberals still try to deny it despite what’s right in front of their eyes.
