    Leftist candidates can’t even get their rhetoric in front of people to convince them, because of actions by the Democrats. They block the left from debates and ballot access, and they claim to speak for them so don’t even bother looking at what they have to say as we backpedal and freely allow republican attacks on anything that even resembles leftism. All the rhetoric you are repeating here, is precisely how they sell it to you as to not damage the illusion of democracy that keeps you playing their game.

    How is any of what you said of Republicans, untrue for Democrats? We are all fundamentally no different from each other, we are all seeking security and stability in our lives. The mainstream parties just make it impossible to cut through their propaganda, on both sides, because they both play for the same class of people. They both suppress and deny platforms for the truth because the truth is a threat to them and their system.

    That is why it is on us to reject that system, seek out the truth anyways, and spread it far and wide among the working class, to release the working class from the cognitively dissonant narratives of the capitalist class. It happened to end slavery and jim crow and to win the new deal that ended the great depression. Nothing was ever achieved by waiting for a politician to do the right thing.

    The working class must win power because capitalists will always grab it back when our backs are turned and demoralize us by making it seem impossible to win any more than what keeps their machine turning. The least you can do is stop helping this process.

    The Democrats don’t cave to pressure to move their platform to the fractured left, they go hunting for “moderates”.

    Yet you claim they are the easier party to move, even as this strategy causes them to bleed voters and lose elections that they claim are so important to “preserving democracy”. Sure, the right sweeps the Democrats every single time, because Democrats are just as uninterested in inconvenient objective realities as the Republicans, so all it amounts to is whichever team speaks more strongly to a voters’ preconceived identity, which the capitalist class is able to define to some extent, and which team is able to sound like they have solutions. Of course, how do you expect to convert Republicans to a party whose contradictions lie just as bare naked as theirs??

    Cope harder. Don’t get mad at leftists because you fell for this utter bullshit and we didn’t.

      I very much did not claim that. I said they are the easier enemy to fight. That is a very, very different thing.
