2020 US Election Thread

So the idea is the worse Trump is the better off we are cause it makes capitalism look bad? How do you distinguish that from just succumbing to all out fascism? What makes you think that won't just be the end destination instead if a stone on the stepping path?

Sooo....how quickly before the corporatist Dems blame Bernie for the loss in Florida (specifically, Miami Dade)?

They already started that strategy before the election even happened. Even though Dade county is probably the most blue district in the entire state.

The Cuban vote in Miami is completely overrated in terms of the state wide vote. And even Cubans don't vote as a block the same way say black people do.. they just vote more Republican than other Latinos.

I'm certainly not saying that accelerationism is going to be beneficial but acclerationism can certainly potentially destabalize trust in status quo capitalism. I mean status quo capitalism is the reason people turned to a chaos agent like Trump in the first place. But without functioning labor organizing to give the working class a legitimate power block then yeah acclerationism is just a train speeding toward a fascist or civil war cliff.
