    Joe Biden changed nothing. Even if Kamala Harris won, nothing would have changed. Without changes people like Trump will always be able to win elections. So until the democratic party is willing to bring some real changes, I say let things fall fast, then something new can be built without the Republicans or democrats.

      I see where you’re coming from, but “let things fall fast” is playing right into the hands of capital. Times of crisis aren’t storms to be waiting out; they’re opportunities for radical organization and action.

      “I say let things fall fast”

      You must not be in the crosshairs of the Trump regime… yet.

        Well I’m pretty sure everyone on this platform is considered a domestic terrorist now because of NSPM-7. I’m still not going to vote for liberals or Zionists. I’d rather die fighting.

          shut your gringo ass up you ballotmunching Uncle Tom freak

          demanding that the opposition not trail the right-wing on every single talking point and give a single fuck about the lives that the so-called US would continue to destroy beyond its borders is not accelerationism or ‘whiteness’.

          when non-‘United’ SStateSSians have to listen to you about your fucking ‘damage control’ instead of actually doing anything you sound like two SS officers bickering over how painful our torment should be. we don’t fucking care about your comfort you imperial hog.

          the collapse of US soft power institutions under Trump has been a fucking godsend for the rest of us trying to actually improve our nations.

          stop running DARVO for your abuser and find a healthier relationship with politics.

            You know, people are allowed to do things even if the lesser of two evils is elected. They can protest(more freely) to demand change. Now they are just shot. Whatever people planned to do of Trump won, they could do of Trump lost.

              Yes, like those Palestine protests in 2024 that were so gladly welcomed by the liberal establishment. Those protesters were absolutely not decried as useful idiots, Russian trolls or both. Stop kidding yourself. Regarding imperialism specifically like 80% (random guess) of the US gargles fucking MIC balls when it’s democrats at the helm.

        Joe Biden continued disregarding the CDC with regards to COVID

        His administration repeatedly said that the pandemic was over, you don’t need to wear masks anymore, you can go back to work, and then Omicron happened. None of that was at any point ever true. Biden himself caught COVID during the very press release he gave to say COVID was over in September of 2022! COVID/Long COVID are still billable conditions in hospitals; doesn’t sound very “over” to me! Everyone is always sick. They sell 4-in-1 swab tests OTC at pharmacies now. Is it really over? “Back to normal” happened with his administration’s blessings in 2022, and that playbook was primed as early as the second year of the pandemic in 2021, under Biden. Now no one cares about the most communicable disease in history that shows no evidence of ever being cleared, has no cure, and is still spreading and mutating to be vaccine-avoidant like a wildfire, not just the anti-vaccination crowd. Tons of opportunistic viruses re-emerge with new outbreaks of one terrible thing or another spreading every year because people are wrecking their immune systems catching COVID over and over and over, even while vaccinated. All of that happened during the Biden years. All of that continues to happen because the good blue man said we could go to the movies again. He is culpable.
