Is AOC gonna be the one that the “left” gets behind and votes for? Or are we just gonna get more “left” that says they want a more “left” candidate that doesn’t exist?
Yes. She will demonstrate her unpureness somehow - or, more likely her unpureness will be assumed from some low-context event - and the proletariat will be admonished for ever having entertained the notion that democracy was viable. Probably, mmmmm about 3 months before the election, give or take.
Huh?
If you remember the last few elections, the “left” comes out and says that they aren’t voting for the democrat because of some policy that the candidate has. They attack anyone who does say they are voting with “no true democrat” logic. It’s not actually the left doing this, it’s the fucking tankies and the libertarians, but they’re too cowardly to confront on good faith, because their position is openly hostile to democracy.
So, what I mean is, are we going to see a new crop of people claiming the left isn’t left enough and it’s better to not vote, or vote third party, thus attempting to drive down engagement from the left and seal the deal for another 4 years of MAGA cunts?
Yes. You’re going to see a bunch of bad-faith bullshit takes and chronically online lifestyle-leftist idiots in every election until you die or when being left wing isn’t considered counter cultural (which it always will be). You really can’t concern yourself with that.
Door knock, phone drive, be present in the real world with real people in your community. Always strive to be compassionate.
And for the love of god be a salesman. Sell, convince. Don’t argue. Leftists do nothing but argue and grandstand. They talk big ideas to people who don’t give a shit instead of relating their values to real life struggles.
Damn, I’ve always been shit at sales
