Using the word "push" acknowledges that Biden will lean right when left to his own devices. Once he's in power there is no leverage to push him left with. It's illogical manipulation.
I think this critique tracks. But you kinda leave on a nothing track, besides saying no one should have said anything because attempting to opt out of bs is a reasonable response. That said, this feels a little disrespectful of subjective contingency, not saying that kinda deterministic thinking should rule you. It’s super important, but not the nadir of importance.
In Alabama I voted dem. In ny I vote to expand the field. They’re my votes and the points to try to do a thing and do other things.
My annoyance is far more with the only vote ppl as if literally only ballot day matters, not the material run up. Which is why I still snoop on your content. And the lib asking people to pls shut up there’s baddies reminds me of a boss who threatened to shoot the staff if they didn’t “row the boat together”
I'll say the intent was just to show something for what it is. My overarching work is directing people towards organizing, either in areas I am involved in or at least with the awareness of how organizing can kind of become a commodified lifestyle experience. I am finding that my articles are often things that are just "I want to say this thing but I don't want to spend the next 3 days (video), 3 months (documentary), or 3 years (book) on. I do appreciate that you think the critique tracks though. I don't think you're critique is wrong, either, it's just part of the scope of making things that I am interested in and can get done.
“I don’t give a flying fuck which one is in the Oval Office.” Um, you maybe should?
“political policy has been more or less the same my whole life.” Patently false unless you’re about ten years old.
This is innane garbage, both sides-ism. Aaman Rahman had an interesting point to make about genocide and the whinging white liberal response to it, and you made a mess of it by trying to defend him.
