I'm gonna have to take my thoughts out of the tags for a mo, sorry folks
this guy clearly needs to talk to some lefties doing real organizing in real life and not just talking shit on twitter because ALL the lefties I know who are in real life doing real work are not functionally brain dead or mad that it's not bernie doing whatever. they're aware, and they're trying to get information out to voters. um, you know, that thing the biden administration probably should be doing???
literally get involved in activist circles that aren't chronically online and you might be surprised at how many leftists are getting actual shit done on the ground, that have made it possible to push biden to the left, to the point that he feels comfortable walking with the auto workers. lefties online griping about biden aren't wrong to want him to go further, they have beliefs that he doesn't fit in with. but that's such a small amount of people. In real life, most of us know that yeah you have to keep pushing but you can absolutely celebrate the wins we're getting. that have been built on the work we have all done together.
I have my own issues with biden's policies but like I'm not going to deny he's better than any president I've ever had in my lifetime. I think when it comes to messaging, the admin could do a LOT more to spread awareness amongst less likely voters.
I just think this is pinning shit on leftists in a kind of weird way, as if leftists aren't the very people organizing labor lmao. the issue is always, always with disaffected non-voters. Non-political people. Go get them. Invest time in educating THEM. Ignore the shitshows on twitter.
#not digging the slight at bernie but okay i should expect it from democrats at this point#lbr biden is shockingly the best president in my lifetime but the bar is in hell??? like#also idk how many americans other than people this person meets on twitter refuse to acknowledge that lmao#but can we acknowledge the reason for biden being this supportive of SOME labor actions btw not all#is because of the movement bernie was a part of?#anyway remember that the bar is in hell and thats why biden is the best president of my lifetime and hes STILL only a mediocre president#but mediocre is like... a stopgap#better to have mediocre than fascist i know dont even fucking come at me#us politics
