I think I explained it but I'm in a good mood so I'll rant more if you want it. I assumed that for the "vote shaming". That's something that only liberals do.
But my comment was meant to be more of a general message than directed at you personally. So, I'm not really saying "you" personally. I don't know you. But I can use your comment to make a point.
You can be as far left as a maoist third-worldist in your head. But if you're allowing your doomerism to keep you from going outside and organizing. Well, materially, you're not doing anything more than a liberal that watches fascist take power and do nothing but blame <1% of the voting population.
Doomerism will keep liberals there. Liberals have this idea that the system works and just needs to "be fixed". That's why "doomerism" is the last defense that one's liberalism has in keeping them inactive. When faced with the system falling into fascism when THEY "did everything right" the liberal is met with a decision. The liberal has to either decide that that system is the problem in the first place (an hence stop being a liberal) OR revert to doomerism. To blame leftists, Trump voters, protest voters, or whatever they can to avoid criticizing the system.
I get the "people don't care" or " people are too stupid" from my liberal friends. They say "you had like 75 people at that protest. Let me know when it's actually doing something and I'll join".
Well, THEY are the people that need to be joining. They are all waiting for the movement without doing any of the work.
It's a comfort that doing nothing is the most reasonable action. When (to me) it clearly is not.
Not only liberals vote shame. It won’t be long before we get the chance to try to relegate the fascist to the back seat for a while again, and some of us have kids.
Some of us can afford to have different strategies throughout the cycle, and right now I’d like people to understand the landscape that’s being created .
This can be accomplished more effectively without the layers of sarcasm you have in saying:
"too late" also very much belittles those who cannot afford the different strategies like you claim to have.
No offense, but whatever point you were making is easily lost in how much of an ass you were to others in making it.
I have a kid. I go out and protest BECAUSE I have a kid. My mixed race kid that's a daughter of a green card holder is in the crosshairs of this administration.
There is no more pushing fascist to the backseat mate. They have power. They don't give that up. Read a history book. You're delusional if you think 2028 will bring "normalcy" again. Please wake up.
They are not only targeting leftists that go out in the streets. We'll be the first to be round up. For sure. But if you have any political opinion that's counter to this administration. Well, you're in their crosshairs too. But there might not be anyone left to speak up for you once you're their only target left. Keep that it mind comrade. You can't wait until their at your door.
This person will never move forward because they're rooted in the past and fertilizing it with anger, bitterness, and hatred. I feel sorry for their kid.
