https://x.com/HOTWisconsin/status/1952418431816351973 video here. he's always been soft on the NYPD but yesterday ramped it up. it's not "fatalistic doomerism" to point out that the Democrats are a Nazi party actively committing genocide and anyone who thinks that project is worth "working within" is either compromised or stupid.

Seriously hating the take on this website right now that if anyone says anything slightly critical of him that we are doomers or wreckers or whatever the fuck. Does the concept of critical support just fly out the window? Do people not see that being so rigid and resorting to fucking name calling amounts to similar behavior of the blue MAGA crowd? Were they even old enough to vote in the 2020 elections and actually remember what the vibe was like for AOC and Bernie? Do they think us groaning on this website will influence votes? Idk.

"doomerism" is just reasonable pessimism about electoralism within a dying empire

I agree, but I think it is useful to balance it with hope, and I think a lot of us have that revolutionary optimism along with hopelessness whether we believe in electoralism or not.
