    There's nothing they hate so much as fucking peasants having the nerve to think we can and should exert political pressure on the political class.

    The idea that we think we might have a role in politics beyond casting a vote is such an anathema to them that many can't even conceive of it as a possibility (so they treat is as apathy; we don't care and would let Trump win) or they can conceive of it and seeing us try gives them cognitive dissonance which makes them hate us.

    Either way they will hate us for being principled activists. There's no other way for them to see us.

      IS this pressure on the DNC? They seem to enjoy being the minority party because it gives them something to do which doesn't involve actually creating policy.
