To "Vote Blue No Matter Who":

Trump and Biden are both tools of the elite that is squeezing lower classes to death and working overtime to make the planet uninhabitable. You've fallen for the "good cop, bad cop" routine, and are trying browbeat the people who've caught on to the scam into adopting your delusion.

Presumably you do this so that you can feel virtuous and self-righteous. That's nice. Your current role is effectively persuading abuse victims into staying with their abuser. Don't expect a lot of gratitude.

Again:

A) Biden will almost certainly lose to Trump. He's a lifelong corporate servant, responsible for countless deaths as a career-long warmonger, and has been trying to gut Social Security and Medicare ever since he got into public office. He is in every sense except the literal one, a Republican.

B) As if that weren't enough, he is also clearly suffering from dementia. He should be in a nursing home, not the White House with his finger on the button. In that regard, he is again no better than Trump.

C) His policies on climate change will kill off the human race as surely as Trump's will. That's because they are the same in all but cosmetic ways. They both work for the oligarchs. It wouldn't even cross their minds to try to stop the extraction of fossil fuels or take any of the major actions necessary for the human race to live.

What you are advocating will kill off the entire species and many others. You are literally trying to shame us into approving the murder of every child who will ever be born from this day forward. More than that; when the human race dies, not a single goddamn policy that you claim to support will matter.

Identity politics? Everybody's the same color when they're dead: bone white and ash gray. Genitalia, gender preference, and gender identification are less then meaningless to the decomposed.

Immigration? The dead don't migrate, and it doesn't matter to them if they're in a cage or on a golden throne; they'll rot equally wherever they are.

The Supreme Court? It's been in the pocket of the oligarchs for a long time, and now is even more blatantly so with the assent of the DNC. So is the federal judiciary. Everything was lost long ago, because of sellout Democrats such as yourselves.

So if you think that you're going to get any of us to vote for your senile old crook, I suggest you hold your breath and wait.

What We Can DO

It occurs to me that _if we all do the same thing_, we can make a huge impact. If all of us who see that humanity is going to die if we don't take drastic action can agree on a course of action, we can be effective. We all tried supporting Bernie. That didn't work, but it wasn't because we failed; it's because we were fighting on the system's terms.

OF COURSE we lost. The game was rigged from the beginning. But if we fight on our OWN terms...we can win.

The occupy Movement scared the living s*** out of the establishment, both parties. They rolled out tanks in a coordinated nationwide attack to shut it down. They revealed the iron fist behind the velvet glove, and they usually try to avoid doing that. Why did they take that chance?

Because Occupy wasn't playing their game. They were beyond the control of the Establishment. They met face to face, making it harder for the establishment to monitor or troll them. They had no leaders (despite the best efforts of the Democratic party to claim leadership), so there was no one to corrupt or intimidate. They met in public spaces, so that the vast oppressed people of this country could see them and know that they weren't alone. THAT'S why Obama coordinated the nationwide crushing of the Occupy Movement: they were a real threat to the power of the elite.

What does that tell us?

I think it tells us that we have the power to threaten them, if we use it right. More than that: we can overthrow them. It's just a matter of fighting on our ground and our terms, not theirs.

Right now there's a hell of a lot of people who are (like me) angry and scared. There are more of us than we realize. A hell of a lot of people understand that what's happening is going to end up killing us all. So if we all can find a way to act together effectively...without being co-opted by Democratic groups or leaders or allowing trolls to overrun us...

We can win. All it will take is to figure out what approach to take. Maybe we need to revive the Occupy Movement, with improvements so that it can't be wiped out by denying it access to public spaces. Maybe we all need to join something like Extinction Rebellion or some other mass protest group. I think it's pretty clear that politics is not the way to go. Starting a new party is a nice fantasy, but it by itself will never be able to get the kind of power and traction in time to save billions of lives. That's not to say that we can't have a new progressive political party. It's just saying that depending on any one angle of attack is a mistake. We are multitudes; the numbers are on our side. We can take more than one avenue of approach at the same time. A new Occupy. Mass protests. A new political party, maybe. But altogether, the goal has to be survival. Because it's down to that, now.
