    Bringing people here so that we have people to talk to isn't radicalizing. Getting people involved in your community is a better use of time.

        I mean start with pointing out how useless the Dem party is, that it offers literally nothing to the working class and poor and that it never can offer anything because it is run by the ruling class.

        Yes, sorry I understand what you mean now.

        For me a strong point is talking about looking at the material benefit with either a Trump of Biden win. Walk through the issue of taxes and public services, healthcare etc pick one, and look at what would materially be different between the two.

        For the people you're talking to, there would be almost no difference, I imagine. In fact, under both, their material position would probably be worsened overall. Then talk about the poor, then talk about the rich.

        I don't know what the point is, except to get them looking at a real material perspective of politics. That kind of thinking helped me a lot.
