/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Direct message

… Unless you’re going to tell me her campaign was somehow unaware of this fairly widely published IMEU poll.

They were in a bubble of other blue-no-matter-who media and were assured by the consultants from Clinton’s campaign and the Labour Party that they could ignore those polls.

So really, it would have taken a big enough push from the public that MSNBC became anti-genocide. Hypothetically it could have happened, but the Democratic base is too disorganized to pull that kind of bottom-up messaging coup off.

If Democrats knew they’d lose for supporting genocide,.they wouldn’t have done it. It’s precisely because blue-no-matter-who voters convinced them that they were invincible that they ended up losing. They thought they could bully the base into voting for them because enough of the base was willing to be bullied and proud of it.

On the other side, Trump is more likely to lose the war on Palestine.

Really smart to not have a primary. Definitely got everyone on the same page and reduced confusion!

Libs turning into election deniers is actually useful for radicalizing them imo

It’s our responsibility to inform them and get them organized. If we fail, we face the consequences too.

Organize workers into militant labor unions and leverage them for political struggle. Inflation won’t go away, it’s a structural problem that comes from the collapse of the US empire. As economic conditions continue to worsen the unions will only grow larger and more powerful, regardless of what happens to the NLRB.

Do you think most Americans are even capable of thinking mathematically?

Voting for Democrats is not all you can do.

There’s different reasons to not vote.

Some are disengaged. They don’t watch or read news, they often don’t even know what’s going on in the world around them.

Some are disenfranchised. There are obstacles that make voting difficult and confusing, and sometimes even impossible.

Some are dejected. After every election the Democrats mostly fail to help the people they promise to help during the elections.

Turnout is way down. We have to analyze why, not just lump them in with MAGA.

The popular vote is for nobody if you count the people who didn’t vote.
