If “Vote blue no matter who” ever meant anything useful, it was “form a coalition across the center and the left to oppose fascism.” And…that’s a really good strategic thought. It’s an •essential• thought, in fact: when the fascism is on the rise, anti-fascist people of otherwise wildly divergent political views have to come together to beat it back, or it will consume everything. But that means that “blue“ can’t just mean “anyone who ran as a Democrat;” it has to mean “anyone who will oppose fascism.” And that disqualifies people like whatshername in Michigan, whatever her party. I sincerely hope her political career is over. Maybe “vote anti-fascist no matter who” is a better slogan for our present moment.
