This really is a bizarre exchange. The people encouraging a vote for Biden
are using their "cred" as members of loose coalition of activist groups
that failed miserably in accomplishing any of the things they set out to
accomplish. I'm not sure what expertise people who thought thousands of
others would join them in setting off bombs in army compounds think they
have that it somehow lends credibility to their point of view.
I disagree with both the original statement and Le Blanc's comments. I
don't think it is an "all hands on deck moment," if for no reason other
than the fact that everything is pointing to a re-election for Trump even
if people did heed the advice given in this letter. Like in 2016, the
election will come down to a handful of communities in a handful of states,
and the DNC has selected a person with obvious signs of mental health
decline to challenge the incumbent. As far as I am concerned, the election
is already lost. If I lived in a swing state, I'd probably suck it up and
vote for Biden because I feel like it is the equivalent of having a gun to
my head.
But I don't, so I won't, and I doubt that it will matter. In about 7 months
we will watch as Donald Trump proves to the world that "American democracy"
and all of the institutions that the signatories say they want to defend
are already lost.
We should be focusing on how to reclaim our local communities through the
use of strikes and other tools, especially now with the likely onset of a
depression.
