My impression of what she's saying here is, vote for Harris now

No? Lol. She does not say to vote at all. She says they're both evil genocidal pieces of shit.

and right now Harris is the only one who can beat him

Who gives a fuck

But the more important part is to not stop critiquing her ideology. Don't let her forget about Palestinian children, don't let people be complacent with capitalist hegemony, do the ground work necessary to move our government to the left.

"WE CAN PUSH THEM LEFT"

Lmao are you people seriously saying this AGAIN? How many elections in a row are you going to say this nonsense and be proven wrong over and over again? Fuck off. You can't push ANYTHING in the american democratic system other than what the bourgeoisie want. Average people have ZERO impact on policy, fact, studied and proven.

It means trying to build momentum behind some candidates to get them elected in 2 years

lol in 2 and 4 years you will be screeching to vote liberal again because you have absolutely no commitment to building the future now.

And a brief aside for those that just want a revolution to be done with it.

You're talking about this entire instance.

1, most of the same still applies, especially the building momentum part.

No it does not. Because you are talking about electoralism, which is not remotely the same thing. Revolutions are not built by winning elections lmao.

And 2, there haven't been any successful revolutions without some connections to those in power

Absolutely false lol

The only "connection to those in power" a successful revolution has is a noose.

They've been saying it for over half a century. In some ways since the 1800's. Luckily for the dems, libs have the memory of a housefly
