This is the take I hear from every single person I have met, in person, about this. They don’t vote for the Democrats, they vote against the one thing worse than them. The only thing we can do in this country, right now, is slow damage. We need a revolutionary change, but looking at all the people who organize within communist, socialist, etc. groups, their plans are wishy washy, and while they come off as pretty spelled out, they are shallow, and they do not want to address the questions of what happens when people simply always resist real change. They are more scared of setting off and active revolution, than they are living this way.

Though I do what I can with those who are in my area, the leftist orgs have nothing to show in terms of what they have brought to the benefit of the people. They simply have rhetoric against what is here, and empty promises is not going to pull people away from the establishment they grew up within. We got some, local, changes passed here that demonstrably increased the QOL, however it was never branded with a clear leftist group, so people assumed it was the local Democrats.

On the other hand, you have a bunch of keyboard warriors online that preach violence, and some who even condemn those who haven’t taken up arms, as cowards. Meanwhile they have nothing to show. They aren’t out there carrying out “action”. The only appreciable counter actions, to the MAGA cult of personality, that is playing out in real life, has come the “more like early last century England, not on the level of Nazi Germany” liberals. However, their actions are simply to stop MAGA, as they want to preserve the empire.
