it's not all of them but I think some small fraction of them are REALLY committed to The System and how they imagine it's supposed to work. they view voters choosing wrong as "regrettable" But ultimately the correct result. only an electorate that is virtuous enough deserves good outcomes

In my nearly two decades of political organizing, I have learned that anyone whose plan hinges on everyone taking one specific action does not actually have a plan

I say this so often. Yelling at individual voters because they're disillusioned by bad decisions the candidate made is not going to do any good! It simply can't, just do the damn math! It's the candidate's job to get voters excited to vote for them and alienating voters is a failure on their part!

"If left voters don't want to vote for a republican, I will be forced to become even more republican 😤😤😤" Votes DSA "This is terrorism against me personally"

You're the one who mentioned Talarico first here, but it also applies to Palestinians and just the left in general, going back years. That said, his rhetorical weasel words designed to trick bigots that he agrees with them are 1) harmful in themselves, 2) bad politics. bsky.app/profile/hugb...

The gods (non-college white voters) didn't bless us with victory, which clearly means our sacrifice wasn't pure enough.

Need to sacrifice even harder.

because they're the same kind of dickheads as the ones who set up a twitter botnet in 2016 to bash Bernie Sanders www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

The things that are good for making a post go viral and feel righteous on social media are not necessarily conducive to coalition building and winning elections, let alone changing people’s minds . No one’s going to change their behavior either way. Just another fun conundrum of the modern age.

politics is when you come up with a plan to organize voters, and then get mad at the voters for not following orders
