I feel I have to block negative people. Who come into my mentions with "I agree with you but you are f***ing stupid if you think Trump will face justice."
As James Baldwin reminds us, "I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope."
Do not despair my friends. Be angry. Stay angry. But be not hopeless. We will get through this. We will.
cynicism has no place on the left
It's coming though. Saw a few purity posts today criticizing what they have labeled Blue MAGA and advocating not voting for any Democrats that aren't sufficiently leftist because "They're all the same."
Swear this nonsense is just a rerun of 2024, and plenty of folks are on board.
It's the primaries, so yeah, elect better Dems, but this 'I'm not going to vote stuff' is ridiculous and dangerous.
@mastodonmigration @QasimRashid
not voting, and thus helping fascists win, in the name of scolding someone for not being ideologically pure
this isn't the left doing this, this is someone with ego masturbation needs. they may call themselves left, but they are not. they have self-serving psychological goals, not community-serving ideological goals
@benroyce @mastodonmigration @QasimRashid
I'm sort of inclined to another extreme, that is, vote and do more than vote. Move the party to become the vehicle for people that it should be.
@unruly @mastodonmigration @QasimRashid
oh yeah absolutely
nothing about my championing of voting means i'm saying only vote
you do it all
meanwhile, anyone saying do all the good things except don't vote on the other hand, is a moron
