Same. Oh well it just mad me realize the uselessness of national politics and 99% of electoralism.
He did help form the nurses union in my town, he personally came to promote the union to the nurses and it passed. Don't know exactly how much that helped, but it was nice
Nice. Local electoralism is still worth it. National politics is a waste of time unless we get someone who will actually try and kill one of the two parties.
Well the nurses union is becoming more and more militant, so that's good.
I hope more people are realizing militancy is the only path forward. The mechanisms to extract concessions from capital or push national politics left do not exist outside of pure antagonism.
remember how after bernie ate shit the chapo hosts instantly acted like they thought he never had a chance and their listeners were idiots if they thought so
"And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, one year later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”
