... It is your task to educate yourself and build consciousness and organization among the members of your community

i wish democrats where living by this ethos rather than shutting out constructive criticism; maybe kamala could have won.

Kamala couldn’t have won because she was the establishment candidate when people want a vandal to burn down the system. Not to mention sexism.

i wonder if the establishment miscalculated our response to the election choices that they let us have or if they decided that accelerationism through trump was in our best interests somehow.

whatever the reason, they going to have to tighten their grip to keep control and that means further accelerationism. i hope that this results in improvements to our lives after the dust has settled since the last time the political winds kicked up dust like this, it resulted in things like unemployment benefits and social security; maybe this time we'll get ubi.

Kamala had the polling data to tell her what to say to win. She chose not to change her views.
