Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency
Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.
Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.
Accelerationism isn’t “make things bad,” it’s an (incorrect) strategy that says we should support the most competent capitalists so that we speed up the concentration of capital, which speeds up the timeframe at which capitalism itself breaks down. It’s wrong because it doesn’t actually get around the fact that we need to organize for revolution, and supporting the capitalist class alienates us from the working class. With that being said, the Democratic party is the accelerationist candidate, as they are generally more competent capitalists.
My solution isn’t to make things worse. Revolution isn’t just something you do, or something that falls into your lap. It happens when there is a large, revolutionary socialist party, a class conscious working class, and a crisis in the capitalist class. We can directly contribute to the first two by getting involved with a socialist party. That’s the plan. With a large scale socialist party and militant working class, the crisis of capitalism that inevitably comes doesn’t have to devolve into barbarism. If we don’t organize, the collapse is coming regardless, and we get barbarism.
Using “it” to refer to me is dehumanizing. I accept he/him or they/them pronouns, not “it.” Your crypto-fascist lingo and dehumanizing of leftists is disgusting. I also don’t use LLMs for my comments, I’d like a single bit of evidence for that. I’ve asked for evidence before, and you have never once given any, you just perpetuate dehumanizing me.

I have never, ever, used an LLM to write any of my comments. Not a single time. My entire account is good-faith, I am a socialist organizer that spends time and money each and every week fighting against the billionaires that control the United States. Billionaires control both the Democrats and Republicans. Different billionaires, sure, but billionaires nonetheless. My solution is never to “let republicans win.” As I have stated, my solution is to replace the capitalist system with an entirely new system, through revolutionary means, which requires creating a mass revolutionary socialist party.
I do not work for billionaires. I do not work for the Democrats nor the Republicans. You have no argument against the necessity to create a mass revolutionary socialist party, nor the necessity of socialism itself, so you attack my personal character baselessly. In doing so, you rely on dehumanization. This is nakedly reactionary behavior, even if you think yourself progressive. And no, I will not fuck off, because online comments pale in comparison to getting yelled at in person, intimidated by cops, and the regular shit that comes with actually putting my skin on the line to fight for a better world.
You’re fully capable of being an honest person and arguing against socialism and revolution without relying on dehumanization and character assassination. I believe that because I believe all working people can come to understand the necessity of socialism and the means to get there. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t spend so much time organizing for it.

I’ll talk about anything with anyone when asked. I don’t know why you think I only push back on accusations of LLM use, I push back on all manner of bullshit accusations. “Triggered,” “tankie bot,” “it,” you keep dehumanizing me and using rhetoric straight from Gamer-Gate. You have not once proven LLM use in any capacity.
The truth is that I actually care a lot. That’s it, it’s as simple as that. I care a lot about advancing the cause of socialism, and if that causes you to despise me, then I can only hope one day you cease this reactionary pipeline you have yourself on. Socialism is necessary, and whether you like it or not, we either advance to it or will descend into barbarism. There’s no middle path in the long run.
Your insistence that we should fight the socialists at every opportunity, rather than the capitalist class, will leave us in a moment where the crisis of capitalism hits, and there’s no built-up organization to stop it, just like Germany in the 1930s.

Again, never used an LLM for any comment I have made, ever.
