Tony West costed Kamala Harris the election

If folks can remember, Harris and Walz were talking the soaring prices and how corporate greed was behind that. That is a very popular talking point among voters. But then Tony West, Kamala's brother-in-law and formerly Uber's top lawyer, told the campaign to quiet down on that rhetoric. Squashing talks about the economy. So the campaign and the Dems didn't talk about the economy much leading up to the election. Or said, "The economy is fine. Inflation is down. Look at the numbers." That didn't translate well to the general voters. That didn't match up with their live experiences of higher prices.

People just wanted change for those reasons, according to many podcasts I have listen to. So Tony West telling the campaign to stop talking about the economy might have kill the campaign for Harris. And this has been the standard thing for the Democrats to ignore the hardship that regular working folks goes through. And that might have cost them this election.

Yes Trump will make the economy worse and prices will rise faster under him. But at least Trump talked about the economy and lied about what he will do. So some folks believe him because he was at least talking about the economy. Something the Democrats didn't do. And Democrats often seed the ground to the Thuglicans on this and many issues. And it is so frustrating.

Will the Democrats continue to listen their pundits, insiders, and advisers like Tony West, who obliviously are more looking out for their big corporates friends instead of regular folks? Will finally adopt actually popularly economic policies instead of listening to their donor class? I highly doubt it. So long as folks like Tony West still has power over the Democrats campaigns, I fear they will lose more often than they will win.

So let's have a friendly chat about the election but also might have some fun things. I will joining Owen Macdonald, Teglin, and Lonely Wolf. Come and join us.

You know what

Man, Harris and the Dems loves that Trump and the GOP are their opponents. They don't have to have any strong stances on Climate Change, $15 minimum wage, being against Israel, or Medicare-4-All. They just have to say, "Look at the other guys. Vote for us."

I know that the Democrats wants a "healthy Republican party," whatever that means. But I suspect, apart from the Fascism, the Dems are fine with the other party being as terrible as they are. Because the Dems don't have to run on anything. Or stand for anything.

Listen, I get it.

The only way I will vote shame someone is if they vote for the GOP party. They're White Supremacists.

Apart from that, I don't care if you vote for the Democrats, third party, or don't vote at all.

I get it. This system sucks. Hence why I am an Anarchist.

I get it if someone does vote for Kamala Harris.

And I get if someone can't bring themselves to vote for someone who is Pro-Genocide.

Between just Harris and Trump, there is no Anti-Genocide option.

"How are you today, Jonathan?"

Well, I have one friend that has negative money in her bank account and no food and is hungry. And I don't have any money to give until next Friday. And I have another friend that has a negative bank account, just got a letter from debt collectors, and has no income what so ever. Let alone no money for food and such. And they were denied for SSI and SSDI. And another friend that is disabled and was denied SSI and always needs money too. And then two more friends that on again off again have been passing the hat around for the last four years since I know them. And are regularly asking for money for groceries every two weeks. So yes, I do some fatalism for the current political system. Because while yes, I hope Biden does win in November. But it is only because of the only other option is a Fascist. And when the other option is a fascist, the none fascist candidate is preferable to run this Fascist country of the USA.

"I am tired of shooting for the moon. I want things done that are practically."

Liberal say that in response to the radical demands of actual Leftists.

Liberals, is it shooting for the moon demanding a world where my friends never have to beg online in order to eat?

Because if the answer is "Yes," then Liberals are asking me to accept my friends will always beg online in order to eat and live. I have to "comprise" my values and "vote for the lesser of two evils."

"You have to vote for Biden."

Biden is Pro-Genocide.

"And Trump isn't."

And I guess Liberals don't believe there is a world where folks don't starve if they don't have the money. Or that demand is not "practical" in this system.

"I knew we were only get $1400."

My Problem with Incrementalism

My problem with Incrementalism isn't that it takes time to get the materials to build a bridge across the river and me going, "Why aren't we on the other side already?" Because I want to change society. And I know that it takes a long time to change people's hearts and minds. So many people are resistant to the ideas of Anarchism, Socialism, and Communism because of years of propaganda and Red Scare from the CIA. But if a lot of Americans don't like the ideas of Bernie Sanders, THAT IS A LOT OF AMERICANS I NEED TO TALK TO TO GET THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS CHANGED! My problem with Incrementalism when the Politicians we put in power, the ones that we are supposed to put in power, or else it is entirely our fault for letting the other side win this election, don't have the political will to actually make deep systematic change to improve society. The Corporate Wall Street Establishment Capitalist, many being Conservative, Democrats don't want to remove or lessen their Class power. Democrats will fight against Socialism much harder than they would to fight against the Republicans. We saw that this past year when all of the other moderate candidates drop out of the race and endorsed Biden. Which Barak "don't say Defund the Police" Obama worked behind the scenes to help facilitate that. The Corporate Wall Street Establishment Capitalist Democrats didn't want Bernie Sanders at all to be the nominee. Granted, Bernie did terrible in his campaign and Biden got more votes. But the deck was stacked against Bernie in this past election. The Democrats will only give "Affordable Housing" which isn't Housing-4-All or Guarantee Housing. Housing is a Human Right. But many of the Democrats are Landlords and would love to continue to be Landlords and make money just for owning something. Affordable Housing is better than nothing but not good enough. We must have Single-Payer Healthcare. Nationalist Medicine. Medicare-4-All is the comprised because that is just Nationalist Health Insurance. But there will still be For-Profits Hospitals when we get Medicare-4-All. Medicare-4-All can be and is a step towards Nationalist Medicine. But the Dems don't even have the political for that policy despite its National popularity. This is why I say fuck Representative Democracy. Representatives make rules, laws, and decisions. Not the People. It isn't a Democracy. It is a Democracy with the Representatives. While it is a popularity contest for the rest of us. A Reality TV Game Show Host figure that out to win the White House by getting a shit ton of attention and gaming the current political social Media landscape. As well as stoke up a lot of Racism, Sexism, Bigotry, Ableism, and Anti-Queerness that has always been there. A lot of Conservatives fear the demise of the White Christian Male Power structure in this country. Hence why they love the "American First" policies that they hope that Biden continues.

I still don’t know who to vote for?

This election is going to be a weird and frustrating one. It is the first presidential general election where I am an Anarcho-Syndicalist. And this election in the darkest timeline has a Fascist as the incumbent. But the candidate that is opposing Donald Trump is Joe Biden. Almost everyone's last pick in the primary. The only worst candidate during this primary was Michael Bloomberg, who was trying to buy his way into the election. Possible to take votes away from Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, but that is damning with faint praise that Joe Biden is better than Michael Bloomberg.

The most likely results of this election are either the continued reign of a dictatorial Fascist, causes and continuing chaos and mayhem, or just straight up Neo-Liberalism. We are going back to a normal under Obama, which was terrible as well. Just not as awful as under Fascism. And we won't fix the problems that allowed Trump to rise to power. Since those are core systematic problems that the current Democratic Establishment is not interested in correcting. And the Republican party is just worse as they are OK with Fascism. Some of them want Fascism.

And let's not forget, serval people have very good personal reasons not to vote for Joe Biden. Joe Biden helped co-wrote the 1994 crime bill. In some issues, he was to the right of Regan on drug enforcement of the Drug war. He was always the most conservative Democrat in the Senate during his time there. He voted against busing 19 times. That is why many Leftists say that Joe Biden is Republican-lite. He is just the 'correct' color for Liberals and is the candidate the Democratic party chooses. So yea, there are two Republican tickets this election. The difference is one is not Fascist. Liberals know this. They are just in denial or flat out refuse to believe it. Because boy, don't say that Joe Biden and his running mate are anything but Progressive to them. Because they really hate that. "I think it is unfair to Joe Biden to judge him by International standards. I would prefer that he is judge by American Political standards," one Liberal said. Why can't Liberals admit that America's Political standards are shit?

Liberals have to believe that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are progressives because they can only think of voting for progressives and progressive causes. They can't accept they are voting for a Conservative on the Democrat ticket, because they would have to admit that the Democratic party has moved towards the right as has American's Overton Window. Joe Biden is against Medicare 4 All. On that issue, he is to the right of Boris Johnson and other conservatives of the UK and Canada. Liberals have to believe they are voting for progressives on the Democrat ticket. Because if they didn't, they would lose faith in the whole Ameican Electoral system as well as Reform. It is almost like Capitalist Realism. People can imagine the end of the World before they can imagine the End of Capitalism. Liberals probably have an easier time visualizing the end of the World before they could imagine a different system than the current governance of Liberal Capitalist Democracy.

Let's not forget, something we already know, that Joe Biden is a bit creepy. He is a Patriarch and treats women differently than men. Whenever he meets families at the White House who have sons and daughters, he would say to the sons, "You have a critical job. You got to protect your sister from all of the boys. That is something my Dad told me." The women must be protected, and it is the men who must do the protecting. Joe Biden has a habit of creepily smelling women and girls' hair and touching their bodies on the waist and shoulders. Serval women have said that Joe made them feel uncomfortable. And this was all before Tara Reade allocations.  #IBelieveTaraReade.

As for Kamala Harris, she did put trans women in men's prison, which resulted in one of them getting killed. "Kamala Harris couldn't do a thing." Is something Liberals need to stop saying. What they really mean is, "Kamala Harris choose to uphold an unjust system by blindly following rules instead of using her power and influence to change them." She attempted to block two Trans women's requests to get gender confirmation surgeries. Which, as far as I know, she hasn't really made amendments for. She wasn't good about slowing down The New Jim Crow. She was fierce to Sex Workers too. One of my comrades said, "As a trans woman and a Sex Worker, how should I feel about voting for Kamala Harris." She increased convictions for things like merely drug procession. She also wanted to jail parents for truancy. She has been called the Democrats Top Cop. Someone who is "Tough on Crime." Just like how Bill Clinton and Joe Biden were in the 90s. And that still has devastating effects on Black and Brown communities.

So many people have many good reasons not to want to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. And Liberals want to think that they simply "have their flaws." Again, I think it is just all to make it easier for them to be excited to vote for them. All of those issues, including their voting record on increasing Military spending too, are "merely flaws." And they will also shame people into voting for Biden/Harris with, "It is the lesser of two evils." Which again, is more of an indictment of the system we have. "But we have an election, and we should all vote." So we can't talk about changing the system right now during an election. So when can we talk about change this entire system? And Just like with 2016, "A vote for a third party or a no vote is a vote for Trump."

Further shaming us into voting for Biden/Harris. "Do you want four more years of Trump?" FUCK YOU AND SHOVE THAT DISINGENUOUS QUESTION UP YOUR ASS!!

Merely bringing up all of these complaints are being associated with supporting Trump. Another by-product of the binary way of thinking with the Two-Party system and First Past the Post voting. Liberals have 'accepted' Biden/Harris is the ticket. And they honestly wish we do too. And since we are vocal with our complaints, they hate us for not 'accepting' Biden/Harris is the ticket. They hate us for not 'accepting' the way the system is as it is. "I have accepted all of this. Why haven't you?" This can explain how so many Liberals would go "URG" at the thought of Joe Biden as President back in January during the Primaries to skipping to the polls to vote for Biden for the General Election. "Well, he won the primary." "I get to vote Trump out of Office" is more what it is about and not how great Biden is. They tell themselves how great Biden and Harris will be as a recon.

And with all of the shaming us into voting for Biden/Harris, instead of voting for the Green Party or not voting, it completely ignores the fact we did vote for Hillary in 2016. She 2.8 million more votes. But it is the Electoral College that gave Donald Trump in the win. Plus, in Washington State, my state, four of the Electors didn't vote for Hillary Clinton when they were 'supposed to.' Washington State is likely to go blue again. So I don't know if it is essential for Me to vote for Biden/Harris. The fivethirtyeight poll from Sept. 22 shows Washington voting for Biden at 58% vs Trump at 36%. A 22 point difference. I think I can safely vote for Howard Hawkins and feel like I didn't help Trump win. But that won't be what Liberals think.

Now with all that said, Donald Trump is still a Fascist wannabe Dictator. He is almost the worst. His administration is just letting massive amounts of people died because of Covid-19. He is encouraging people to shoot BLM protestors. He told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by," at the first Presidential Debate.  He said there wouldn't be a peaceful transferal of power because there won't be a transferal, but a continuation. Donald Trump has sewn doubts about voting by mail. He will doubt any kind of election results where he doesn't win. So Liberals argue we most vote in such high numbers to show that it is the will of the people they want him out of office. To which he can easily say "Fake News." He did doubt the 2016 popular vote results claiming 3 million "illegals" cast fraudulent votes.

Another convincing argument is we most show that Trump's ideas can't win elections. Because if it continues to win elections, more people will adopt Trump's views and policies. It is sort of convincing. But since a Qanon supporter will win a seat in the House of Representatives, becoming a rising star in the GOP Party. The GOP Party has backed Trump throughout his time in office, Trump's views and policies will continue whether he wins or not. Even if Trump loses, we are not out of the woods yet. Not by a long shot. Trump base will still be here in this White Supremacist CisHetro Patriarchal Ableist country of the United Corporations of Imperialism. Who will always vote for the GOP and are not going away. Many Democrats will even speak highly of them. Nancy Pelosi prays for the Republicans. Liberals believe having an opposition is part of a functioning Democracy. Will the GOP no longer be Fascist? I doubt it.

"We have to get rid of Trump at all costs." I understand that urge. But the system gave us Trump and protected him. So how is voting and participating within the same system supposed to help? I know that Liberals think voting is very powerful because "So many people had to fight for their basic right to vote." And that is all true. The GOP only wins because of dirty tricks like gerrymandering and voter suppression. Hence, Trump is encouraging his base to watch the polling stations for "suspicious people wanting to commit voter fraud" and "rig" the election. It is straight voter intimidation and is happening already in Virginia. Part of the convincing reason to get Trump out of the White House. Biden will not encourage White Supremacist of all types to commit acts of violence against "The Radical Left terrorists" and "Antifa."  Antifa is not an organization; it is an idea. Even Biden got that right.

Knowing how terrible Trump is, brings me back to Biden and how bad he is. Not as bad. Trump and Biden aren't the same. Trump is a Fascist while Biden is a Neo-Liberal, and Neo-Liberalism isn't Fascism. Neo-Liberalism just leads to Fascism, as we have already seen with Trump. I simply see Neo-Liberalism worse than how Liberals see it. Not enough to make a false equivalent, but still. Remember, if Trump loses, he could pull a Grover Cleaveland and run again in 2024. Imagine that.

What bothers me the most about Liberals changing their opinion of Biden, by the mere fact he won the primary, is that Biden is granted votes from Democrats and Leftists. I am sure Democrats do love old Uncle Joe. There were a lot of memes from the Obama years. And many Liberals just love Obama. Even though they fully well know about his War Crimes. It is that acceptance that I don't have in me. "Well, he is the candidate. So I will support him to get rid of Trump." And what makes it worse, Biden isn't really offering anything as well. He is against the Green New Deal. He is against Medicare-4-all, even during a Pandemic. What is Biden/Harris offering? Even Biden, when asking these questions and about his record, says, "If you are questioning whether to vote for me or not, you ain't black."

So Leftists will get nothing and will receive all of the blame for of Trump winning if we don't vote for Biden. "If you are questioning whether to vote for Biden or not, you must want Trump for four more years."

Remember, I live in Washington State. A super blue State. If I live in any battleground state, even within a ten points difference, I would vote for Biden/Harris. But since Biden is ahead by 22 points in my state, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, I am considering voting for a third party. Howard Hawkins of the Green and Socialist party is closer to my position. I would prefer there is no State at all and no President at all. Especially no single person having that much power, especially being the 'leader of the "Free" world' by virtue of being the President of the United Corporations of Imperialism. If the President of the United Corporations of Imperialism is the 'leader' of the 'free world,' then how come the World doesn't get to vote in this election. The UCI, Imperialtopia bombs the hell out of the middle east so much, I think the middle east has a right to have a say in our elections.

I do have to acknowledge those platform holders, people with a Youtube channel, a Podcast, or have a large following on Social Media, feel the need to tell people to "to out and vote. Vote as if your life depends on it because for some, it actually does matter." Although for some people, much won't change materially for their lives, like the impoverished and the disabled. For some, it is life or death. For others, it is a shit show, regardless. But platform holders want Trump out of the White House. They don't know who lives in what state. They don't know if their audience's votes matter or not. Since they are speaking to a vast audience, and they must keep it simple, they have to say, "VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!"

But, I am thinking, if they acknowledge that some votes are more important in some states than others, they will have to admit the whole in the United Corporations of Imperialism is unjust. Votes are weight more heavily in some states than in others. The whole system has to change. But that can't happen in a year. However, folks can vote on Election Day. So, it is easy to encourage people to vote instead of organizing to abolish the Electoral College. It would take too long to do it. It would take a lot of effort. So even bother trying. Liberals would rather pretend that isn't the case and just badger and shame people into voting for a candidate they have 'accepted' won the primary, even though Biden was one of the worse candidates in that field. Everyone's tenth or so pick.

With all that said, vote for whoever you want to or whoever you feel comfortable voting for. I won't vote shame anyone. Except if you vote for Trump and the GOP. Then you are a Fascist because you are voting for a Fascist and the Fascist party. Pure and simple.
