        Going all-in on appealing to those who are already aligned with them or unaligned, and ignoring or degrading the opposition instead of trying to sway them.

            So… how is that strategy going to help progressive politics, exactly? O.o

            You’re asking how choosing to focus on getting out the vote instead of appealing to opposition voters is going to help, in an electoral environment that saw 1/3 of the country say “I don’t care who wins”?

              Homie, the election is over. Electoralism didn’t prevent the shitshow the US is currently in. I’m talking about proper progressive politics. I have no interest in moral superiority, or being butthurt by an election in which a fascist won.

                Ah, yes, opposition to the one minor thing which you could’ve done to prevent the current fascist regime is mandatory, on grounds of purity, but calling a literal fascist evil is unacceptable. I’m beginning to get an idea of what your politics actually look like.

                Insane that you question whether someone else believes in democracy for ‘misanthropism’ while dismissing actual voting as not ‘proper progressive politics’.

                I have no interest in moral superiority, or being butthurt by an election in which a fascist won.

                Yes, it is increasingly clear that you don’t give a shit about what happens to the victims of fascism.

                  You want the feeling of moral superiority? Great, then call Trump evil as much as you want!

                  You want to understand politics and maybe improve the current situation? Then stop clouding your analysis with that bullshit!

                    Considering that you have zero interest in voting, well, as a self-proclaimed progressive said just recently…

                    Great! Have fun while the situation gets worse!
