There is no reasonable expectation that Trump would "work" for anyone outside of some very wealthy and grifters. So, yes, voting for Trump is stupid.
Accelerationists can fuck off.
Well there is no reasonable expectation that voting for Harris improves anything given her explicit statement she's going to be just Biden in a wig.
When you present unreasonable choices, you get unreasonable decisions. To most people Trump isn't the ultra competent, ultra intelligent, ultra evil fascist you guys have been propagandizing him as for the last decade.
He's an incompetent version of a generic politician.
"would you rather have nothing to eat, or poison?"
If you eat nothing, maybe you can figure out a better solution with your remaining time. If you eat poison, you're probably going to be too sick (or dead) to improve things.
Trump is poison.
Also Biden did improve some things, so it's less "nothing" and more "some crackers". Sure, a full meal would be better.
That's not the choice, especially if you're Muslim or poor. The choice is the same cyanide you've been taking, but a higher dose; or arsenic.
Biden improved nothing for the working class, and has been actively hostile to Muslims.
Your false choice and inability to see how much people are suffering is why you lost, why your messaging just doesn't resonate and infact turns people off of your party.
Most people care about their own survival and life. That's it. If your corpo is hurting them as much or worse than the other corporate is hurting them, they'll simply not choose your corpo to give power to.
