Do not vote in the general because you endorse the candidate. Vote in the general because we are shaping our future battleground.
This isn’t even about how you want things to be four years from now. This is about the battles you want to fight next year.
Do you want to do battle with an unapologetic pathological liar, or a liar who actually cares about his public image? A blatant fascist, or a mere enabler? These are our options for opponent.
Do you want to do battle with an opponent that actually has to listen to the Democratic Party, or one that can do whatever he wants? These are our options for opponent.
Ignore the promises that you know are lies. Pay attention to vulnerabilities. Which option can you actually bend to your will, given enough organized, direct action? THAT is a difference that matters.
When you know you are dealing with an opponent, disillusionment isn’t on the table. They can’t trick you anymore. The power can return to our hands, if we collectively see the opportunities and strike.
This means not caving to conformist pressure before the election, but more importantly, after.
There will be talk of unity and coming together, so that you can be lied to one more time. Ignore that. Fight to win, and where you can’t win directly, pick the option with better vulnerabilities.
Grin through the lies and wait for your moment to strike.
The establishment wants us to lie to ourselves so they can keep their lies going as well. Unfortunately for them, we can vote tactically without lying to ourselves.
If the establishment choice wins, take advantage of their vulnerabilities. If the establishment choice loses, pin the loss where it belongs: The establishment.
As I’ve been saying, I advocate for tactical voting, but I cannot force other people to vote a certain way. It’s literally not in my power, or anyone else’s.
And blaming the electorate when the electorate consistently points out your mistakes is... not a winning strategy.
You either see where I’m coming from with this philosophy or you don’t, and I can’t force you either way. Which is besides the point, because we are united regardless of the election results.
Don’t let them divide and conquer based on the results of the general. Place any failure where it belongs: the candidate.
