  • I've been in this community for awhile and seeing people pretend we were not trying to build a voting block and not to expect anything from the orgs and people you were all telling people to donate to and help. . .is just pissing me off to the point where I really need to take a break from the people here before I go to far. Like take care but I'm honestly starting to fucking hate the people here.


  • I'm honestly done with people pretending like this. If someone is funded by self described leftist, promoted by them, endorsed by their organizations, etc. They are effectively the left. There is absolutely no point in running away from this because when you do it is ALL bullshit smoke and mirrors and the real "left" will always be whatever is most convenient in the moment. Kyle Kulinski explicitly said the point of the justice dems was to form a voting block, the entire strategy for the last 10 years only made any sense if leftist were willing to vote together on important issues.

    And don't do that garbage with putting poor people in quotations. I am poor, I helped with this shit even when I probably couldn't afford to because I thought people were serious about accomplishing something.


  • Eh, I agree with her. The problem I have is the left keeps trying to pretend it has a secret plan or that there is a "real left" just off somewhere to the side as a way to avoid taking responsibility for anything it does. Like if you think electoralism is dumb then ok but the left took all this money and time from people on the idea we were going to form a voting block. To then not care what any of the people the left elected actually do just makes the whole thing a clown show at best, and a scam that leeches off of poor people at worst.

    There is about a year and some change left before the House swings back and stays that way probably until the next republican presidency. If there is no big push or change made with what we have now, if they aren't going to take the risk then it's going to be over for a least a decade. Sure something might arise later, but at that point the left as it exist now might as well dissolve because all it accomplished was wasting every single opportunity that came by while acting above it all.

    Nobody is buying the pseudo radicalism. The same people dumping on Brianha were also big fans of Matt Taibbi and Lee Fang for christ sake. I don't think they really care about anything being libshit.

    This sub/site has always had a problem with the fact it is not actually cool to ask poor people for millions in donations and volunteering, abandon any semblance of a plan, and then silence anyone who actually follows up on left political efforts as a radlib electoralist.
