When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

for those, like me, who can't remember where they've seen the original image before, it is the necrons from Warhammer 40k :)

Honestly we just had an election where I live where the options were (not to this extreme at all) but pretty similar in the "not great" vs "fucking awful" choices. Of course we had an actual third party with good policies but they had no chance. The race was so close here that in some areas the difference in votes was in the hundreds for the top two choices. They're still doing recounts and I guess we'll see, but every single fucking vote has counted on this.

I honestly don't believe that not voting is ever going to work. If we want change we need an actual fucking revolution. Not voting, in American's case, would just allow for the literal militants to take over and then you really won't even have the choice to protest anything in the future.

We need to focus on prefigurative politics, I.e, build the world we want to see with direct action, unionizing, and mutual aid, since voting and governments are never going to do it for us.

However, who is in charge of your country will make those prefigurative politics more or less hard, or even impossible (can't imagine much of the above going on in Nazi Germany...)

I think it goes without saying that it will be less hard under Harris.
