He’s an amazing author regarding language and linguistics, too. He’s a center left guy, not a Marxist or a right winger.

Nah. Also not neurotypical, and at risk myself.
But that’s the thing, isn’t it? Opinions are ranked based on the relative special oppression status of the person with an opinion, which isn’t a reliable way to arrive at truth, nor is it a good faith reply.

The fact I’m white and a man has no bearing on whether my role should be dominant or subordinate, and sorting by race and gender is specifically what a class approach eliminates in all ways.

First and foremost, this means unwavering rejection of the timeworn and fraudulent myth that the Democratic Party represents, as compared to the Republican Party, a “lesser evil.”

The working class cannot come to power, let alone implement a socialist program, if its hands are tied by politically enfeebling compromises with the political representatives of other class interests.

Even if we could vote for different options, it can’t change until we have shared ownership of production and distribution of goods and services.
They will not let us vote ourselves into becoming the ruling class.

Those ideas aren’t what are being attacked. My name & my identity are being attacked.
The fascists are already here, and they’ll continue to grow in direct proportion to the inability of liberal institutions to deliver for populations who are susceptible to the ethnically-based lies of fascism.

Because the fact of the matter is this: there is no candidate viable under our current system who can or will fix this.
You need to hear that. Clinton didn’t fix it, Obama didn’t fix it. Biden didn’t fix it. Because they CAN’T.
You know why FDR was successful? Because communists WERE a threat.

If you don’t demand more, you’ll never get more, and if you won’t work with people you disagree with, it’ll be even more so.
We’re cruising right toward a repeat of 2016, and just like last time, liberals won’t listen.
The solution isn’t JUST to vote for a lesser evil.

No, I’m getting attacked primarily for my name, my gender, my sexuality, and my race. Basically, I’m being told I’m not allowed to disagree because of those things, as if there’s not way for me to have a valid opinion.

We were done at the start. You’re not willing to reconsider a losing strategy.

Fascism is on the rise directly due to the failures of neoliberal Dems. Future actions by neoliberal Dems will not solve the problem, and working on identity politics primarily (instead of ALSO working on elevating the working class AS a class). Capitalism in crisis ALWAYS allows fascism to rise.

This has happened despite long administrations of Democrats, which means they can’t install a lasting fix to the problem.

Where would you like to start? Health care is broken. Minimum wage is falling apart. Capitalism is causing ecological catastrophe, war, hunger.
But even the most obvious solutions like erasing student debt simply can’t get done. Fascism is rising in the place of crumbling liberal institutions.

You’d have more allies if your basic response to disagreement was something other than insults and attacks. They never change anyone’s mind, and when you attack, you don’t listen to WHY people don’t want to join you. You want leftists to vote Biden? Explain what the next step is. Show foresight.

The president doesn’t control inflation. The president has very little direct control of the economy.
I’m not voting for Biden because he can’t deliver policy changes that will erode the mass movement of confused working class people to the far right, sadly.

This is how you lost 2016. Everyone told you that you were wrong and you didn’t listen. If we’re very lucky, Trump will be in prison before the election. If we’re not, we’re fucked because you won’t listen.

90% of the “voting” is done by wealthy elites before a single citizen vote is cast. If voting worked, they’d make it illegal.
