A thread like this isn't the space for future building. This is a thread on the discussion of an election. So no surprise the conversation is focused on that.
There no possible way to do as you said, in fall 2024. Edit or any other fall during 2 party, fptp where the leading candidates are already selected.
Of course other countries do it differently. It's great. But changing the whole electoral process between September and November is a joke.
Edit edit and now instead of working on grassroots candidates or platform change, this nose holding Harris voter is instead spending my community time exclusively looking after the at risk people in my network, rather than working on horizon goals. Trump and co have contracted the threat window so massively the goals have changed.
You can't dismantle the DNC and put forward a replacement leading candidate in the fall of an election year.
The discussion on "hold your nose and vote for Harris, to keep trump out" has an unsaid (but often completely said) primer clause of "the DNC is shit and must change, it's a priority of 2025 and beyond."
I haven't seen one Harris voter claiming they were stoked about her or the DNC.
Trump IS a moral dilemma, and given one vote, and no time to change things, the only option is to reduce harm. THEN build a better future.
Who cares? Just suck and fuck whatever consents and gets your motor running. If something changes and doesn't seem so interesting, stop doing that
