Liberals themselves have told me:

  1. We are a "first past the post" electoral system. That alone should disillusion you of hope for any change through voting.

  2. Biden is "the most progressive president we've ever had." This is probably sadly true, which again shows that anyone who cares about marginalized groups should hope for the collapse of such an outrageously atrocious system.

Collapse is best. We should work towards collapse.

Edit: Autocorrect sucks donkey ass

i don't think the left wing is best positioned to take power if there was a collapse

i think a collapse would bring the us significantly more right wing

Yeah we're a nation of shit people overall. All the more reason collapse is best overall. I'm willing to suffer and die if it means Palestinians and immigrants can be spared
