All the libs will go back to brunch and sleepwalk for another 4 years. Harris will fail at everything she does and make life worse, especially for Muslims, and the left will be blamed for everything. The right will dig their heels in even more on reaction, yada yada, y’all know how this show goes.

      I’ve had similar thoughts about 2020 in retrospect, except with accelerationism. The common sense was that accelerationists should support Trump over Biden, but Biden actually turned out to be the accelerationist candidate.

        I’m starting to be convinced that we can’t predict shit about shit when it comes to electoral politics, other than the obviously correct take that this thing is on rails to fascism and WWIII at an unknowable time in the future regardless of who wins

      yeah I really can’t think of anything that would actually be better under a Harris administration. Trans issues I suppose? And maybe reproductive rights? Although roe v wade was overturned under a dem administration so even that falls flat.

        Harris would do nothing at a federal level to support trans or reproductive rights. Trump (or rather, his people) would probably try to pass more restrictions on both at a federal level but that would get tied up in the courts and would leave things in the same place they are now: states free to be as hitlerian as they want.
