I never hear people on the right say oh people will never vote for this or that or oh the system is too fucked up it’ll never happen; they see what they want and say ok let’s go make it happen. 1/3

A problem on the left is all the social approval given to cynicism & despair. I understand why people are depressed & angry about the oligarchy, but every time we talk about it like it’s an insurmountable problem we give it power. That’s exactly what they want you to think. 2/3

The gun issue is a perfect example. Like healthcare & climate change it’s an example of corporate power tyrannizing us yes. But negativity about our prospects is not the answer. If enough of us say we’re going to change things and we’re not going to stop until we do, we will. 3/3

Is this the part where you destroy the last remaining shreds of your credibility by sheepdogging the left into Dem Party obedience & convince us all to fall in line behind a legacy of fascism, failure & empty promises?

bc the system operates in their direction, maybe?

Because they effectively govern through fear mongering.

No. Enough of us HAVE said we want to change things. But ppl are fed up with voting and the time for talking has passed. Organize a direct action Marianne. People will follow.

How condescending of you. Ignoring the years some of us have spent fighting an imperialist warmongering genocidal government. You don't hear people on the right way that because they have politicians that act on their policies. The Left does not.

democrats aren't "the left" , tho.

Because right-wing politicians do what their voters want. You want abortion illegal? Unlimited guns? The right to refuse service to LGBT people? You got it. Democratic politicians do not do anything significant that their voters want.

Yep. That part!

People on the right can barely tie their shoes. Most don’t even understand what’s happening.
