We can't be fooled, and we need solidarity more than ever.

"Anyone trying to sell us a world where we get safer by attacking, deporting, or going to war with another scapegoated group must be rejected. As capitalism faces a real threat from the left, and from the internal pressure generated from growing inequality it has created, we will see the super-rich go even further right, eager to ally with those who would hurt masses of people if it protects their wealth."

I don't live in the USA, so don't have to make that horrible presidential choice, but if I did, I'd vote for Cornel West.

I agree with you that we need to support each other and resist the forces of hate, while pursuing decency and community.

This is the same logic that people used against Nader and it was as false back then as it is now. Electoral “power” will bring us nothing but misery. Our path to liberation is through real grassroots community building and organizing. Change will never come from a ballet box.

While I agree with this those people are not safe at the moment under Biden either. I don’t personally believe in the electoral dictatorship we live under currently. Would I rather Biden? Yes, but barely.

Take care to you as well. Glad we can have these conversations in a respectful manner. I hope you don’t feel I was attacking your opinions. If you did then I apologize!
