People seem to clam up after I say this, so let me state it plainly right here: My argument for tactical voting Biden isn’t about convincing Biden to become a progressive. It’s about giving the left more breathing room to organize.
You need to think about what makes the playing field easier for you and the left to navigate. Easier for you and the left to sustain your efforts.
I understand that this argument is well-meaning, but it’s also saying “we can’t successfully organize unless we’re 100% in hell” https://www.twitter.com/TheMonaOgg/status/1282852543060566018
The people who will go back to sleep under Biden are your enemy *right now* as well
It’s true. But the right minimizes them as well. While making life measurably worse. Trump is repealing trans protections as we speak, for example. https://www.twitter.com/TheMonaOgg/status/1282853220516151296

anyways, muting this thread, because conversations keep going in circles where i have to explain to people "i'm not saying they're good, i'm saying they're less bad, and that's important to buy us time."
i can only explain that so many ways.
