End the Genocide
Biden and Trump are both going to continue the genocide unless it's in their political interest to do something else.
Both Democratic and Republican presidents are going to keep supporting genocides as long as it's in their interests.
I say we get someone to change their name to End the Genocide and a second person named Medicare for All, run them as write in candidates for president, vice president, governor, senator, Representative, Mayor, any election where its close enough to spoil. in the short term we push back on the calculous both parties currently assume, while in the medium term such campaigns could be used as the scaffolding to build a workers party, as well as the other institutions I've discussed in essays like speculative organizing. (Labor Temples, Lottery Congresses, Long houses, self defence schools, communes, squatters networks, weapon shipment blockaders, etc.)
The charm of changing of names has several components:
-novelty, memorable
-the asymmetrical problem of name recognition, being easy for the rich and incumbent, but hard for the ten thousand offices contested over four or six years. it's easier to remember ten slogans then ten names
-just as slogan can generalize across candidates, from dissipate candidates a coalition of all those running as variations of the same slogan from an instantly legible alliance
-ties their identity and career to a single issue, constantly reintroducing that single standard and making the sting of betrayals more costly to the politician as they are reconfigured as “politician formerly known as”
