    A Harris administration would be a similar imperialist decay. You are putting far more of an emphasis on a single seat and not on the overarching system itself, which is the primary cause for the conditions of today. Leaders have some degree of influence, that’s why they exist, but it isn’t correct to state that Harris would be “objectively less terror, destruction, and obstruction.” Framing those who take a principled stance against imperialism and genocide as “privledged” for doing so is incredibly short-sighted, as much of the left is made up of marginalized groups. This is partially what builds up the left.

    Let me ask, are you a member of a political party? Are you doing anything besides voting? Could it not be asked why you aren’t listening to the principled socialists that have been advocating for the working classes to get organized? This isn’t meant to shame you for not doing enough, being able to organize requires time and commitment not everyone has. However, to shame people who do for not doing enough is a bit silly if you aren’t also putting in effort year-round.
