What's really the point of any of this? Force the vote, cush bomb nonsense, menaker movie rants.
What's really the point? Chapo at this point is just a grift. They offer no solutions just depression. Matt even admits in one of his cush logs that he'll be here to just keep gifting after the election.
Force our politicians to do anything why? Why should we bother. Clearly the left is just going to swirl down the drain of nihilism while the right invades capitals.
What's really the point of the left?
No, it's not the reverse. A good example is the way Kschama Sawant (I'm generally not very fond of tratskyst, but in the US she's the best example, unfortunatly) is used by socialist alternative. She uses her position as a megaphone for the broader movement, and that's an important part of both popularising demands and giving people hope that change is possible. Seattly won $15 minimum wage and a tax on large corporations and Sawant as the most famous propagator played a large part in that.
Yes, Sawant wouldn't be were she was without a movement, but the movement wouldn't be where it is without the elected socialist. They reinforce eachother, and that's exactly how socialists should use electoral politics.
If AOC and the rest of the squad would be comitted socialists, they'd use their position in a similar way. They're extremely popular figures so they could force the media to acknowledge what's happening, but also, they'd be able to communicate directly with the population trough their own channels.
