It's no small irony that the people who engage in such big talk about "the movement" (and especially how communists are and have historically always been destructive to it) are the ones who lapped up every word when Va*sh was on his Vote Blue No Matter Who arc while claiming that they were going to "bully Biden left".
No, you're not.
Your audience, if it was at all engaged in irl organising, still isn't large enough to bully Biden left.
You're going to the negotiation table and your opening move is to hand over your single largest bargaining chip that exists within the confines of liberal democracy before you even make a single demand?
Even if the movement was somehow large enough to achieve this goal, saying as much conceals the truth that politicians are bought and sold in the US and no amount of protests are going to have the same influence as large donors and the interests of capital.
There was no plan. There was never any plan. It was just a slogan to get people hyped up about "the movement" and how vooting is actually the most impactful thing that you can do.
...these are the people who call themselves socialists nowadays.
Yep.
