It's true, however liberals having "Hasan is saying that he wouldn't vote for Newsom" and "Should we preemptively ban anti-imperialism and anti-zionism from the party?" struggle sessions a full two years out is a good sign.

Usually nobody says anything remotely progressive (like "Bernie Sanders will beat Trump, Hillary Clinton will lose to Trump" until the primaries are on, and the liberals rally around "actually only [establishment candidate] is electable right now, this is the most important election of our lifetimes and there's no time to figure out anything better", but they dont have that option right now.

I remember getting into "accelerationism" vs. "incrementalism" discussions back on reddit. Obviously my understanding has gone well past that terminology, but it is interesting to see it play out with Trump just ramming the "decline" lever on the economy as hard as he can. Remember that 60% of dumbass Americans agree that the war makes no sense, I think even more side with Palestine (iirc?). Gotta get those numbers up ofc, but the archaic liberal order is literally 70 years behind the times on a good day. It stopped advancing under the 70s neoliberalism when ot was forced to sell itself to Wall Street.

I think we have hit "peak lib" and it will be less and less popular from here on out. I hope everyone is out there doing some sort of praxis right now, there is going to be a lot of momentum to the left soon, and those of us who stand for a brighter future need to be guiding that along as much as possible. Obviously needs to be come sort of "revolutionary" future, but who tf knows how that is going to look in the core-of-the-core. We on the left should be ready for all possibilities. I don't think it will be possible for any power to become what the US is under neoliberalism (1970-~2030s). After this decline, it's socialism or it's barbarism. Socialism will win, but it is a question of how much barbarism will happen along the way.

AOC will be popular with non-hexbear reading libs.
