plspls_pls_ stop calling each other fascists or astroturfers unless you have a thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.

The uncommitted movement will, in fact, be called for the general election - by assholes who just want Biden to lose.

You can ignore them. But they will be there. And the mouth noises they make will be based on sincere and reasonable criticism.

The thing about objecting ‘we can’t do [blank] because conservatives will abuse it in bad faith’ is, conservatives will absofuckinglutely abuse [blank] in bad faith. Probably whether or not we do it. That part of the objection is real - even if we should still do [blank]. We can only do [blank] in spite of them.

probably true, sadly. but it won’t be the same people group who is calling for it now.

that’s literally all i care about now with this post is we need to stop calling people who are using their civic rights to speak against genocide fascist.

tell them their strategy will backfire, fine, tell them it’s a miscalculation, fine. but don’t just plaster them with the fascism tag. it makes me sick how people trying to do the right thing are getting harrassed.
