I know I'm going against the grain here, I'm obviously no Harris lover, but also I'd prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that's controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don't want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.

project 2025 is propaganda for kamala supporters and the anti-trans laws are propaganda for tump supporters.

project 2025 was created in 1980 and our government has already enacted 75% or so percent of it before trump ever made it to office. we thrived during those decades enough to shift popular support in our favor thanks to hollywood and we did it without the support of the dnc. (dnc support came after most of the blood, sweat, and tears were already shed and we only picked them because they were slightly better than reagan and bush and we immediately encountered buyers' remorse with clinton).

also: the choice between diet genocide and full-fat genocide is propaganda. mostly because of the virtue signaling around project 2025 and mostly evident from the intense levels of manufactured consent that encourages participating in this system as a democrat or republican only and applies intense levels of peer pressure and misinformation against participating in an other form.

we've both been forced into this dichotomy because republicans and democrats have been taking away our options and weakening our alternatives for decades; things will continue to get worse if we keep cooperating in the way they want us to.

Fascism is bad for everyone. This is not a choice between two minority groups. This is a choice between democracy and fascism.

The only way to help the Palestinians is to vote for Kamala. Kamala wants a ceasefire. Trump has made it clear he wants Israel to finish what he started.

This is what accelerationism gets us. A bunch of people who are willing to let every group of people burn, because they have been fooled into thinking that things can only get better by making them worse. Things can always get worse. We have to make things better for them to get better.

If tankies and accelerationists cared about Palestinians or trans people or anyone they would vote for Kamala without a second thought. Many of these people are from the US. They can't handle that they're from a country that isn't morally perfect, so rather than try to fix, they want to see it burn to the ground. It's a kind of state of unhappy consciousness where their country's misdeeds make them feel as if they have blood on their hands by association.

Most people recognize that beyond our vote and activism we have very little say in the day to day operations of our country. We can sleep at night by acting in a way that is useful to accomplish our goals. Tankies and accelerationists cannot. So the course of action they propose, doing nothing to impact the election out of protest, is not useful to us.

It would be great if she was actually campaigning on helping those in red states and not just saying well that's their law deal with it

It would be great if people would help build some enthusiasm for Kamala. Trump wants to round up homeless people in camps. Republicans want to remove protections against discrimination in the workplace for trans people so they end up homeless. This is an easy choice. If you care about anyone vote for Kamala, because we will all be worse off under Trump. edit: typo

It would also help if she or the dnc would campaign on protections rather than just saying we're not trump.
