it's getting hard not to feel like we (socialists, commies, anarchists &c) have run out of historical road on getting people up to speed. the crisis only gets worse, but transmitting even basic concepts about say american foreign policy or immigration or whatever is like drilling a hole in quicksand
@samkeeper It's an uphill battle, and a significant part of the problem is the areas where the modern left has enjoyed the most success - from the city level down - are very rarely the areas where macro level decisions are being made.
@samkeeper ("Very rarely" because Zohran Mamdani became mayor of a large enough city that he CAN influence some of those decisions.)
