Right?! They have no far-seeing view. Okay, so Kamala wins from pivoting right, then the Republicans move more right, so the Dems will move right. How does no lib see that this eventually leads to the Dems shedding every group but maybe one more than the Republicans to appease the “moderate” (read: fascist) voter? Probably either white cis women or rich black cis people? The “who else are you going to for” logic only takes you so far if you want to actually help people’s material conditions.
It’s awful the shit Trump is doing. And I would’ve loved it if Harris was elected, both to remove the spectacle of facsim, including this ICE shit, and so I could’ve rubbed it in every lib’s face when she kept doing the same shit as Biden, and I could use it to radicalize people away from the Democrat Party, instead of them being able to pretend the alternative universe where Harris is winning is sunshine and rainbows right now.
But, if we want an actual opposition party that represents us: the EM PoC’s, trans people, immigrants, working-class, etc; then the opposition party needs to be punished for moving right. So in that way, I’m glad she lost.
