    I voted Harris. Techno feudalism is better than outright fascism, sure, and that is why I voted for the techno feudalist party that Harris represented. I wanted my neighbors to have food in their belly if it meant being surveilled and controlled and monetized and wage-slaved for the rest of their lives. I would rather have a few people snatched off the streets than the many that the fascists wanted.

    I wish leftists took over the democratic party, though. They are techno feudalists who only have the argument of “at least we’re not fascists”. At least leftists care about my neighbors beyond making sure they have an employer to wage slave for and sustain the 1%.

    The best democrats are the ones that are not at all like Harris. Make that make sense. The only redeeming quality about her, IMO, was she wasn’t a fascist. I didn’t find her annoying, but I just imagine her as a sock puppet for whoever tells her she’s the bestest person ever. After being around children and watching them develop, most politicians are just adult-sized babies wanting to be told they’re the goodest little boys and girls and are saving the world. Leftist politicians are not that, typically. They, typically, act like the adults in the room. Harris was the adult in the room full of fascists and is why I proudly voted for her. She is not an adult in the room full of leftists. She is a toddler and infant that is smarter than Trump because at least she wouldn’t believe she’s the best thing since sliced bread in a room full of adults actually smarter than her, which is not that hard at all.

    She and everyone like her in that party needs to get kicked out and create a new “big tent” Liberal party which argues in favor of liberal ideas like free markets and a strong NATO and a strong Israel which will attract all of the non MAGA republicans (which is a strong sign that liberalism is a fucking stupid thing to desire IMO—that’s what “working across the aisle” means to a liberal Democrat), and leave the Democrat party to leftists and people who actually want to work for the American working class. “Benefit the working class over the rich” is what people think is “perfection being the enemy of good”. As if. That kind of defeatist attitude is what lets my neighbors suffer and get bent. But people don’t care about my neighbors apparently, and therefore allow the democrats to get away with it for the past two decades. At least that way I can keep voting democrat without knowingly hurting my neighbors more than they should be.
