Things will only get better by making them better.
And people are lazy and don’t try, so things always get worse until things get bad enough that people get fed up with the things and do something about them.
For the last four years, people have been acting like they don’t need to get off their asses and fundamentally change their way of life to address climate change because there was a Democrat in office. Now the Democrats aren’t going to save them and they don’t have a choice if they want a habitable planet for their grandkids.
Accelerationists suppressing the vote with their rhetoric is part of how we got here. They are the ones who intentionally went out of their way to fail and make other people fail as well. If laziness bothers you, then this should drive you up the wall.
It was not the Democrats who were going to save us. It was we the people who would save our democracy with our votes.
Accelerationists didn’t depress the vote, the pro-fracking genocide apologist who tried to appeal to Republicans instead of her own base did.
The Democrats were never going to save us, only we can save us. The lazy people are those who thought voting alone would be sufficient and won’t re-engage with politics until the next election.
We knew who the Democrats and Republicans are. The Democrats are neoliberals. The Republicans are fascists. We have a democracy as long as we can keep it. If we lose our democracy we have no one to blame but ourselves. We elected Biden last cycle. We could have elected Harris this cycle. We failed to do so.
The Democrats were never going to spontaneously become populist this cycle. Harris’ campaign was at least progressive leaning before DNC consultants ran into the ground. Our job was to spread the word to vote for Harris and how it would be useful for advancing progressive and socialist causes over time.
Instead accelerations spread the propaganda that Harris and Trump were the same on Israel’s genocide and that people needed to protest vote. Not enough people voted this election in part because of that. We failed to use our tool, the Democratic Party, to prevent fascism.
It’s not lazy to think voting was sufficient. The only way to win was to get enough votes. That’s how democracy works. People spread pro-democracy messages as best we could. We lost the election to fascism. Now we need to organize, because there isn’t necessarily going to be a next election. Hopefully there will, but we may need mass protests if we even want a shot at another election.
Also, Trump threatened to arrest top Democrats. It seems like the Democratic Party could be dead by the next presidential election.
