Ok, so since voting is obviously the only way to enact any sort of political power for non-politicians: feel free to do nothing but feel morally superior until the next election comes around when there is no hope that things improve because people are stupid and there’s no use in convincing anyone who’s “wrong” and/or “evil”. /s
Unfortunately, we don’t have time to convince people who are fused to victimhood mentality. That isn’t too say they are our not victims, that is too say they are more attached to feeling sorry for themselves than they are at actively making inroads and scrub plans. It doesn’t matter, we work for them too and can work on inroads later. Right now we focus on those who are reachable. Hopefully as momentum builds, hope and effort will win over "poor pitiful me, I have nothing of value to offer so you’re bad!”
I wholeheartedly agree. But the original post was about bathing in the moral superiority to shame any and all Trump voters.
This attitude might feel cathartic, but nothing produgtive will be propagated with this meme. It’s the same self-serving circlejerk that liberals indulge in since the election. And I’m just so tired of all of it.
Feel free to keep having the same exact conversations since 1950 every insular naive wannabe college leftist has had with their first-ever interaction with conservative voters in the US.
I’m sure you’ll get real excited afterwards, and talk with all your buddies about how there’s a DEEP wellspring of leftism just waiting to be tapped, and the mass shift in class consciousness is just around the corner. Any day now, bro. Just a few more pamphlets, a few more talks, and they’ll totally be ready for socialism. We’ll be looking at a whole new country.
You live with these people, in their communities, as part of their communities, and you understand on a deeper level why the surface-level “nod-and-agree” in response to politely phrased leftism doesn’t mean shit.
Bruh, I’m not the one dismissing democratic processes for not being ‘proper progressive politics’ sexy enough for a hero of The Revolution to support.
I’m not above participating in a shitty system to stop literal genocide, but it seems that some would prefer to keep their hands clean of shit, and covered, instead, with the blood of folk like me.
I’ll write you a nice letter from RFK’s concentration camps.
Yes, yes you are by dismissing the very act of a democratic formation of opinion by debating with one another.
“A democratic system means that everyone’s mind can be changed if you just clap your hands and believe hard enough”
And here I thought that by heading to the progressive left I was getting away from fundamentalist Christianity. Silly me. Seems that nonsensical axioms based on evangelistic motivated thinking are as present as ever, only now with everything ‘Godly’ termed as ‘democratic’ instead.
Too bad I enjoy your memes. Otherwise I would just block you for your contrarian bullshit takes that leave no stone unturned to misrepresent the comment above.
But I don’t have to engage with your comments, so I won’t anymore. Have fun in your world where everyone’s an idiot but you.

Yeah. It’s amazing what motivated thinking leads wannabe heroes of The Revolution™ to believe.
Good thing you’re already morally superior to all that vermin we call “humanity”, huh? /s
