Wow. Hard to rap my head around the comments, although one of them reads like a right wing Republican scam; "economy slowing regulations", really. Anyone who truly believes there would be no difference between a Trump or Harris win on affecting Gaza or our ability to organize against a continued right leaning, Neoliberal Democratic Party is living in never-never land.

I want to add an additional risk: the general public (including labor) continues to ignore down ballot and off year elections. These candidates don’t appear out of a vacuum (for the most part), and more importantly, given how the US elected government functions, neither does the US Congress.

Part of why we are in the place we are in, is because people wring their hands about presidential elections and know fuck all about anything else. Trump et al are symptoms of decades of declining attention to anything outside the presidency.

Don’t give a shit about Harris? Fine. But you better give a shit about who are your US legislators and your state legislators. Many of whom are also on the ballot this year.
