RE: glammr.us/@jessamyn/1160643783
I think a lot of anarchists miss the utilitarian paths because we are blinded by ideology. Like, yeah, you can't really reform the government into being good. Government is bad as a thing.
But you absolutely can infiltrate and subvert the system in ways that produce positive outcomes. It's easy to miss the subtle difference.
There are also other strategies that become available when you don't just flat-out refuse to interact with the state. Like, you can use pincer strategies where you organize in the community and subvert in the government.
We can do more and be more creative.

Regardless this good blog about the many aspects that make the midterms difficult to manipulate, I am not as optimistic as the author. The bottomline is Trump and his allies will pay with their freedom and personal wealth if democrats win the midterms and the elections after that, they simply can't allow that to happen... It puzzles me that after everything that already happened under Trump some people don't see this.

One safe prediction is that Trump will try to subvert the November elections: in a clear example of a shakedown, Bondi has demanded that Governor Tim Waltz hand over the Minnesota voter rolls.
