ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES

nonvoters are as bad as MAGA

they don't fall for the same psyop, they fall for a different psyop than the one played on MAGA, but coming from the same agenda

that agenda is: goose the right vote, suppress the left vote

so for MAGA they give excitement, encouragement, support

for the left they give helplessness, scorn, defeatism

and it fucking works

*because* so many on the left don't have a fucking backbone

It's only a shame that, if the 2024 autopsy rumors would be correct, the Democrats [were] supressing their own voters.

i reject that topic

the #democrat establishment is a red herring

anyone not acting, on the basis of spineless #democrats, is a moron

#Mamdani showed us:

you show up in the #primaries, reject #Cuomo

then show up in the general #election, reject Cuomo again

get the real left in power

all the while dem central is hostile to Mamdani

that should excite people!

if instead people whine about the establishment and don't #vote, they are weak losers

@benroyce If you primary out enough of the Bluedog “moderates” and conservative Dems, eventually they ain’t the establishment. They can go try to make the GOP less of an open sewer if they want…

I had this in my feed this morning, relevant part at 1:46

TLDW: non-voting citizens is a way bigger problem than non-citizens voting. It's telling which of these "issues" MAGA (and Maple Maga) gets worked up about.

Clowns can't distinguish between "suppressing their own voters"
and
STRATEGY.

I assure you, people who liked the idea of Bernie also liked the idea of Fetterman

(and I say this as someone who did vote for Bernie in the primary. But nah, HE couldn't get it done because HE IS BAD AT POLITICS)

"being visibly popular" is only half the job. Maybe less.

@jrm4 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but he kind of was, no? He knew how to get primary votes in certain parts of the country, but not the South.

"The South" is a strong proxy for "Black People" -- the voting backbone of the party.

And if you suck at getting that, you suck at the job, period.

Again, I voted for him in the primary, but he proceeded to fail so hard...

@jrm4 And let me tell you how many people I never wanted to speak to again because of the takes they had about Bernie's failures with Black voters. Between that and callousness re Syria, I can't deal with being called a "progressive" @dzwiedziu @benroyce @Wyatt_H_Knott @moz @idahobucks

fair

but i would say psyops against people purporting to be on the left is more an appeal to their vanity and pride: "oh look how moral i am to stand above the ugly world, and not participate" (when in real life their immobilization only helps fascism)

morality without action is not morality, it's ego masturbation. and all action is imperfect. so we act in the good direction. anyone who can't is serving a psychological need, not an ideological need
