    FTV was always radlib nonsense pushed by three podcasters who realized you can make a quick buck punching left. People who think AOC and the Squad can uproot global capitalism because the Democrats only have a 4 seat majority are the left equivalent of conservatives who think Mike Pence could have overturned the election because he was president of the Senate. Just a complete misunderstanding of what power is and how it works.

    When anti-FTV people were saying "organize, don't fight the people already on your side", they meant doing shit like what DSA/Sunrise/unions are doing pressuring Manchin/Angus King/other shitbird Democrats who are the ones actually blocking progress.
