The best time to do this was before the general election, for fucks sake, you know, when you were encouraging people to vote Biden. Steel yourself before 2024 because it's likely to be the same shit choices on offer from the two major parties. This fight will take backbone.

Is the best way to push Biden in a less corporatist & more humanitarian direction to stay within the Democratic Party in exchange for perceived (or imaginary) access, or to form another party that could actually threaten the citadels? Not saying I know the answer; I’m just asking

Absolutely I encouraged people to vote for Biden and I’m glad I did; we needed to break the freefall of a neofascist in the White House. But now we’ve done that and it’s time to get on to step two.

So what are you going to do in 2024 when it's a race between Biden and Trump again, or Harris and Trump? Because from my perspective you will have wasted four years and wound up at the exact same starting point, while income inequality and climate change continue to accelerate.

Short term it would definitely be worse, but I'm also pretty sure you can't make the case that 12 years of neoliberal rule will be effective at addressing climate change either. We don't have a lot of good choices, but I don't see how waiting 4 years to have an inevitable

breakup is more defensible than doing it now. It's always going to be painful, but because of climate change we don't have a lot of runway left to kick the can down the road. 2016 would have been better than 2020, 2020 would have been better than 2024, and 2024 will be better
