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:
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.
