If democracy is fucked and all is lost, then your choices are to accept losing and eat a shit sandwich or to seek paths to victory that lie outside the electoral system. Some people refuse to do the former while also refusing to entertain anything approaching the latter, so all they have left is cheerleading an attempt to win an unwinnable war.
I actually don’t think all is lost and it’s over so I am still willing to work within the bounds of America’s pseudo-democracy, but I’m not afraid to pivot in another direction if I reach that point of hopelessness and we’re in enough danger that I think people should start thinking about what that should look like. It’s a failure of the WAAF crowd if they aren’t contemplating that. It’s a lack of imagination if all you can think of is running away.
Moving away isnt the only thing I can think of, but it is by far the best of available options. So when we get there glglgl everyone, Im gonna be somewhere else.
I have one option for moving away that involves going to the land of my ancestors, but I don’t really like the idea. I think I’m ride or die America, just not their America.
