slowly radicalizing me and I don't like it
:sicko-blur:
Can't wait for all my leftist friends that I managed to convince electoralism works rubberband back into tankies bc moderates are massive bitches
:sicko-beaming:
this is literally half my friend group rn and I'm running out of counters
:sicko-crowd:
Communist sentiment is less popular than it was during the Cold War, knock it off. These are a bunch of kids being trendy and edgy with labels, they don't know and single fucking thing and will immediately be brought back to being good Dems come election time.
I seriously doubt they will run back to the Dems because back in the Cold War they actually were willing to bribe them with stuff. They aren't anymore, so there isn't even any perceived gain from flipping like that.
It's now the popular perception that the Democrat government doesn't do anything but sit around and talk about maybe thinking about doing something eventually, some day. There is no trust they will do even the bare minimum anymore.
They always crawl back. It's on auto-pilot.
the point is that it's not incentive based, it's fear driven. they're just afraid of the little they have being taken away.
Lol, that's not true at all. Hell, the left is more ideologically coherent than it's been in America for a long time. It's not alot still, but compared to the Bush and Obama years, there is a way more active media sphere of people who are all becoming connected and radicalized.
