I’d vote Harris in a swing state because Trump will create worse social, economic, and political conditions for people and for our movements. But a Harris victory creates problems too, including by making the case that the Democratic Party can back genocide without consequence 1/

A Harris win would, relatedly, ratify a broader Democratic realignment away from the left and the multiracial working class, toward professionals/suburbanites. This includes intensifying militarism that’s facilitating the absorption of neocons no longer welcome in a MAGA GOP. 2/

Realignment toward wealthy centrists also risks pulling Harris to Biden’s right on economics which will in turn accelerate class dealignment underway. Biden’s economic left turn toward labor and workers was already undermined by its subordination to new Cold War nat sec agenda 3/

This Democratic Party pursues a coalitional strategy that speeds rather than reverses class dealignment; that backs xenophobic border crackdowns and fascist genocide in Gaza. That’s a party that fuels the rise of a truly dangerous far-right instead of effectively countering it 4/

A Harris victory will preserve basic environmental and economic regulation and check right-wing radicalization of judiciary. Most importantly it will preserve NLRB that’s proven critical to organized labor’s historic recent advances—and everything depends on the labor movement 5/

Whatever happens Tuesday: to accomplish anything—to stop arms to Israel, to check climate change—we need a powerful left rooted in an organized working class. Whether you agree w/ my electoral assessment or not—who cares. Let’s agree to rededicate ourselves to organized power. 6/
