The after-action analysis that the world will be doing will suggest what proportion of the blame goes to whom, but make no mistake - this is nothing but a loss for everyone on the left. "Electoralism can't fix our problems!" you cry. Ignoring electoral politics can sure as fuck make it worse.
The deaths in Gaza and Ukraine which could have been avoidable if Trump hadn't been returned to power? That blood is on the hands of those who wanted to keep 'clean'.

You're already doing it. You're already instinctively blaming people in a moment when it's impossible to know whether they would've made a difference.
Oh no, that they "wouldn't have made a difference" doesn't absolve them, no more than it absolves twats in deep red states for voting Trump, despite their vote "not making a difference" in whether their state went red.
They have blood on their hands, regardless of whether they were the tipping point. Enjoy it.
The blood is on your hands and anyone who made excuses for the Democratic party instead of demands for an entire year. Make no mistake.
By participating in this election, Americans could have stopped the rise of fascism for four more years by filling out a piece of paper with a pen.
For over half the voters, the open rise of fascism was fine and not a deal-breaker. Trump has made no secret what kind of a president he was going to be. Trump’s numbers stayed the same and even did better in some places, even after running the most garbage campaign in modern history. A sizable portion of Americans want fascism.
Too much to ask. They didn't feel like we 'deserved' to avoid fascism. They couldn't possible 'reward' non-fascists by voting against fascism.
The accelerationism was fucking awful. =(
You tried everything to reach those people. I appreciate you.
Both can be true. No contradiction.
So are you pushing toward that IRL or are you just like another leftist bitching on the internet on how perfect your plan are and how right your ideal are and it's all libtard fault that Trump won?
Wait are you blaming people while complaining they're blaming others? What is this blame-ception
Not too soon for Liberals. They're already on the attack.
I mean, this wasn't the friendliest opening statement and I don't blame anyone for being in a bad mood to begin with this morning
Plus many of us have been arguing for harm reduction voting for months.
Could someone elaborate by what dual power means in this context?
Trade unions, mutual aid groups, tenant unions, free clinics, etc.
Ahh. It ain't trickling down for sure. I'm afraid union busting is going to be back on the menu.
