    No they don’t.

    Sure they do. But they don’t right now.

    They’re not Trump. That’s the vote. You can be a single-issue voter if you like, because we all are. Our single-voter issue is preserving the ability to vote other issues later.

    RvW is important; my god, is it important. School-kid safety is important. Gun safety is important. Healthcare is important.

    Democracy is crucial. It keeps those other things possible. We lose that and every.other.important.matter is dead. It’s cutting off the nose to spite the face. It’s fiddling while Rome burns. It’s deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s a lively sports discussion while you’re landing the Hindenburg.

    You want RvW? Vote Biden for a chance or it’s not happening ever. I want strong gun safety regs and healthcare. Biden for a glimmer of hope or nothing at all.

    The pattern is real. Every single-issue voter needs to protect their issue by voting not-Trump, and we argue our real issues once we can safely do so.

      At the risk of sounding like I’m disagreeing, I mean, technically those things remain possible, it’s just that acquiring them requires a great deal of organized violence that we aren’t prepared to inflict.

      Also, accelerationism is bad and it literally never works out well for us. Pinch your nose and vote for Biden in '24.
