people who actually get shit on neoliberal policies are the kinds of people we should be reaching out, not some shithead named Dave Bavelhoff who owns a jetski repair shop.

It's probably just the demographic of this sub, we (understandably) chase out bad opinion havers. I was a chud before I became a lefty.
It's not, it's very rare and everyone who has been part of organising irl knows this. But it happens.
Couldn't that be a demographic bias too? (like living in a lib city?)
No, it's not a common thing anywhere in the world. The people who turn to the left are usually people whose beliefs weren't completely diametrically opposed to begin with, most of the people who care about things are progressive libs already before they become leftists. Like I said, it's not like it doesn't happen but it really isn't that common. However it is somewhat common for these people to support some left wing causes every now and then and that's when it is most important to try and get them on board.
