How do we replicate it across the #USA?

Mob the fuck out of #primaries #primaries2026

Get real #left candidates in the general #election

#Psyop #troll farms will be harping on #toxicIdealism to suppress the #vote on the left. This has been going on for awhile now. Do not listen to such voices

"They're nice but {insert deranged appeal to #perfectionism here} so I'm not voting" is how #MAGA and #geopolitical #trollfarm operates on *you*

@benroyce "How do we replicate it across the USA?"

We don't. We need to back whoever is the Democratic candidate is, and hopefully that candidate is the one who is most likely to succeed in their voting district/region.

And we should only boost what's good about the Democratic candidates. We should NEVER say, "Hold your nose and vote for them anyway." That is aiding the Republicans. Period.

No, there are naturally flaws in every Democrat. And there's an endless parade of loud voices already

@benroyce shouting out the flaws of any Democrat.

We do NOT need to be aiding to the din of anti-Democratic criticism.

If you prioritize attacking a Democrat, you are helping the Republicans win. Period. If you say, "Hold your nose," you are helping the Republicans win. Period.

Will anyone stop prioritizing attacking Democrats? Sigh ... I doubt it. I am not a happy camper.

@isaackuo @benroyce I'll believe again that the Democrats can save us as soon as they quit taking AIPAC money and destroying actual leftist candidacies in their nascency.

The Democrats today have forsaken labor and solidarity for aggressively maintaining the neoliberal status quo, and it is not a winning formula.

@liquor_american @isaackuo

yes but the democrats are also mamdani, AOC, bernie sanders, etc

that some of the democratic party are AIPAC captured is obviously wrong, but it's not the whole party

and how do you fix that?

you show up and vote in the primaries and get real left candidates

how do you make sure the entire democratic party is captured by AIPAC?

easy: don't vote

that's why troll psyop farms do social media operations preying on toxic idealism to convince leftists not to vote

@benroyce @liquor_american @isaackuo

Cannot. Be stated. enough. The "withhold my vote" theory of power is cursed.

@qkslvrwolf @benroyce @isaackuo Cannot agree more. But if Dems want us to shut up about holding our nose to vote for them, they ought to earn that. I can't tell that they're even trying on that point. It's just business as usual as far as they're concerned, and that's dangerous in the extreme.

@liquor_american @qkslvrwolf @isaackuo

do you vote in the primaries?

@benroyce @liquor_american @qkslvrwolf I vote in all primaries ... well, I try to, but there are some that I miss.

Unfortunately, I don't keep up with local politics to even know who I'm voting for for most positions. I know I'm not doing as much as I should be.

@isaackuo @benroyce @liquor_american Don't beat yourself up. Find a team. Find folks to work with, to hold accountable, to go to local stuff, to keep each informed. Get you a signal group or a hylo account or a element bridge and just talk local shit. It makes it easier. It's also fun.
