    politicians arent going to save us, idk why you want to stake your shit on just telling them you want them to do stuff, you gotta organize if you want to wield any sort of power

      If politicians don't matter then why do you care whether or not they play nice with Pelosi?

            i dont form parasocial relations with politicians or expect them to win victories for me and tweeting at them to do something isn't a strategy but actively dissuading people from doing actual work to organize people and wield collective working class power is a weird "winning" strategy to undertake but you do you

                the whole "online isn't real" thing is tiring tbh, obviously it has its impacts, people with large platforms splintering people up doesn't help with anything. people have to actually waste time dealing with this kind of stuff when it happens

                    Well i hope thats the extent of it but its indicative of more serious underlying problems if a handful of wreckers can cause so many people to turn stupid af overnight. Everyone thats now yelling at each other was working together effectively this time last year. I know people who arent terminally online wont know anything about this whole dumb shit but like most people who organize are online so its just a huge waste of time for everyone to have to be arguing over stupid shit, like everyones overworked enough already this needs to be dissuaded or it will have real effects on things.

                        well i agree it doesnt matter to the larger movement but it still can send people down failed routes and i just feel weird not speaking out against it if i can, its not like online cant lead people to actually effective organizing, yeah maybe it doesnt have any huge impact but doesnt feel right disregarding people idk maybe i shouldnt care about any of this shit
