  • I honestly don’t care why our representatives do what they do, I care about the material impact of the legislation they pass.

    Example: If a Quiverfull MAGA crazy decides we need to fund childcare because women are just baby machines and childcare means they have more utilities to fight the “white genocide”. Fine. It’s fucking gross but let’s get childcare in place and move to the next issue. All we have to do is make sure it applies to everyone equally.

    This is how you get stuff done.

    The difference is I’m not looking to someone like MTG to lead, so the fact that her abhorrent methodology arrived at the correct outcome is a canary in the coal mine compared to AOC who I am looking to lead based on moral convictions to fight difficult fights when needed.















  • That’s the problem though isn’t it? It’s very easy to lose people by appealing to their confirmation biases and playing up fear responses. The same methodology doesn’t work to pull them out of it because you’re going up stream, and there are literal decades of propaganda that need to be addressed when you’re talking about alternatives.

    If you’re this impassioned about making a difference you efforts would be much better spent getting out and joining a organization that focuses on building community networks. You’re just screaming into the void on Facebook.
