    Because the substance of where they are coming from is completely wrong. We should be welcoming to these people if they figure it out, but mass reaching out to people like this just gets you the DSA war contractor caucus or the CPUSA talking about how we need to make sure Democrats stay in power because of the "fascist threat" from the Republicans.

    while breadtube is full of cringe, it is absolutely a good thing.

    It's compromised by intelligence services. It's basically a pied piper.

      It's funny you should mention that. Because if it wasn't for the many other comments I've seen from you that I have a lot of respect for, I would say that any so-called leftist agitating against reaching out to disillusioned libs is clearly :fedposting:

      I mean seriously. That is like thee one path we have towards actually reaching the goals we're seeking. We have to do everything we can to educate and organize. And to cry out that doing that sort of thing is a waste of time, to act like working to shift people who are already at the left end of what's considered acceptable is a bad or foolish thing... well, that's just totally undermining what minuscule power we actually have as leftists. And it's ridiculous at face value. I would not want to be part of any leftist group or website where that was the consensus, as I would be convinced it was infested with 3-letter agencies.

      And yeah, Hbomberguy, Philosophytube, even Shaun... they're all CIA agents, clearly.

      Oh, good lord... If you're not just playing wrecker, then you need to get off the internet, because the highly-online types are not doing you any favors.
