    I don't think I necessarily agree. I think there are plenty of libs who are within reach, a lot of their hearts are in the right places they just need things explained to them in the right way (A LOT) unlike the 40% who are straight fash. While 40% of eligible voters dont vote I think most of them still tend to fall either fash or lib territory, though the ones you're talking about are some of my favorite people to talk to. However they are a small minority I think, and I don't think it's a great idea to write the libs off altogether when they take up such a huge percentage of our population and are somewhat convinceable. Really depends what type of libs you're talking about though, but I do think young people are the best vessel for organizing into the future.

    I think you actually hit on the head why its been bothering me so much. I hate the VOTE! thing because it doesn't even bother to take a side. They don't care that their statement is ambiguous enough to be telling fascists to do their thing. It puts so much inherent trust in the institution of voting that it even goes past the condescending "Vote blue no matter who!" and basically assumes even Republicans voting is good. Everything is good. Everything is normal. Voting will make things normal again.

    becoming a leftist honestly has made me feel more alienated in a way. every day I just get angry thinking about neoliberalism and how even among my more politically aware friends, many of them just have something about them that makes them libs that really bothers me. I don't really have any irl leftist friends, maybe need to get to organizing opportunities or mutual aid more
