    libs never were and will never be allies.

    and saying the right words does not make you a comrade. doing the right things when it counts does.

    or wanting to do the right things but being foiled at every step and feeling kinda shitty about it. let's be real; most of us are millenials and zoomers who aren't willing to murder our parents.

      At a certain point this stops being useful. This is a recipe for demoralization and despair if not executed properly, if it doesn't lead to accumulating additional meaningful power for the working class.

        it means you're occupying the things that woul foil others. it means you're creating collective wil. it means you're not telling the revolution to shut the fuck up and keep their heads down and just be a part of things, which is so frustratingly the default. it means you're at least a story, at least an education in what didn't work, and very likely a person who will be available when something does come along, however demoralized you might be.

          This is what Bernie did when he endorsed Clinton and Biden. This is what he did by opposing calls to defund the police.
