Liberalism is when you believe in voting against fascism to lessen the burdens on engaging in actual leftist action, I guess.

I think the thing a lot of people are missing is that abandoning the duopoly, or any other major political reform, is NOT a “just vote in this one election bro I swear” deal. These things take time. Sometimes a lot of time. And until that time where it happens, you need to spend each election thinking “how is this going to affect progress towards our goal”. And allowing trump to win did nothing but push us closer to having a republican monopoly. See all those news articles of local government republicans in power suddenly starting to host town hall meetings that are republican only.
I don’t like him or want him in charge, but if Trump wasn’t elected in 2024 then he would have been in 2028.
The upside is trump getting elected probably spurs more apathetic people to get involved than continuing to slowly boil the frog.
Same thing happened after 2016, the Republicans got fucked in the midterms.
Its hard to not sound accelerationist, but yes. If the sword of damocles isnt going away, and things will jot improve in the meantime; go for it.
He might be dead due to health problems by then though.
Im not willing to bet that will stop him winning elections.
