tl;dr: Bernie Sanders and AOC are trying to get grassroots organizers organized to fight Trumpism in purple-red districts. He wants you to join.

I think I’m starting to get the picture of why hexbear isn’t well liked. Anyway. This is good, keeping the momentum up with our two most prominent progressives as the face of the party is a good thing.

Absolutely agreed on all points.

I’ll answer one of you exactly this one time. Come back to the real world before you all fall in to the conspiracy singularity. What have you done lately to organize anyone? To do anything? Ever? Time to either put up or shut the absolute fuck up.

ok, i'll try to explain what should be blindingly obvious. no real reform (yes, not even reform) will come from bernie and aoc. even if they were sincere, their party would ratfuck them, and neither of them will ever say that the future does not lie with the democratic party.

they'll collect people who want change into a movement and then funnel that movement back into the party, telling them to vote for the reanimated corpses the democrats eventually pick.

they'll do this because this is what they've always done.

and also, they're both supporters of US imperialism abroad.

this is the real world. this is why it's so pathetic that you're still letting them pull this shit.
