This is because some chuds are working class and just hate liberals but don’t know that socialists exist.
Liberals tend to be wealthier, so they have more invested in the system.
Old-fashioned conservatives also tend to be loaded, which likewise means that few would ever convert.
Thoughts? I wasted my day arguing with a bunch of libs on reddit. The only chud I talked with just told me he’s going to check out Revolutionary Left Radio. He started the conversation by almost threatening to kill me but changed his tone very quickly when I busted out my socialist clichés. The libs, meanwhile, just kept twisting their brains into pretzels.
Around the time of the primaries I remember on one of the chapo episodes where they were talking about canvassing for Bernie. Hands down republican voters were WAY easier to talk to because they’re just normal people who want health care and an education for their kids.
Buttigeg etc voters were impossible to talk to, they were on a totally different planet and couldn’t stop going off about how their candidate made them feel and what a great speaker they were and how they reminded them on Obama etc etc and couldn’t possibly give two shits or a fuck about the well being of working class people.
Politics of material condition vs politics of self actualization. In both political parties, 60% of their voters are in the later camp with the people who would otherwise vote for material conditions in the general just not voting in primaries.
