You misunderstand. I don't want to argue the merits of voting abstention - I want to argue that your fundamental approach to arguing against them is contemptuous and likely preventing you from understanding real weaknesses that cause liberals to lose (and it's not leftists refusing to support them).

If you are going to demand good faith from your leftist opposition, you need to also demonstrate good faith - Obama definitely embraced and increased drone attacks and deportations. That is all true. The "just as bad, just as bad" you're saying is not an honest accounting of the argument.

Don’t try to lump in Maoist wreckers taking shots at Mamdani with all leftists with critiques of liberals. That’s dishonest.

I think saying this or feeling compelled to remind others of this is also a form of anxiety. Is there even evidence that this meaningfully happens?

I think one of the great advantages for feminism and most leftist strains of thought is that they are fundamentally true in a way that many conservative values are not. Truth is irrepressible and will assert itself even in the most elaborate social structures built to deny it.

Conservative is not an identity nor is it a protected class! It’s a set of bad ideas shared by a lot of people and trying to give it equal representation is folly - the FCC doesn’t even enforce that rule anymore!

Here’s an established truth for you: chasing right wing ideals from the center never wins. Across the world. The bigots always choose the more bigoted candidates and you just dispirit your own base. If you actually want to win, take principles and authenticity to 100%. Even here in Texas.

Really bold assumption that there’s such a thing as a mild bigot, that these mild bigots can be swayed, and that those mild bigots are a more important voting bloc than principled leftists.

Just as any transgression no matter how petty or pointless is a grand victory to a reactionary, any consequence no matter how mild is a terrible wound.

Leftists really need to reckon with the fact that the desire to be a nasty slug getting fed grapes by servants is a fundamental feature of humanity.

The other half are people posting textbook examples of abuse and not being aware of it. The posters jump at chances to be heroes, too eagerly obviously but not without precedent.

Some third way and/or Republican apparatchiks set up a media strategy to claim Piker is the official spokesperson for the Democrats and it exclusively works on guys at this level of stupid.

There are specific political positions that are reactionary because they’re antisocial. The pro-speeding leftist decides that anti social behavior is justified in an evil society, but you can’t build a better world by being worse.

Because they bought into the right-wing framing that calling someone a racist is the most terrible assault, they lowered their burden of proof to “well they say they aren’t”.

The critiques I’ve heard were more that it’s a beneficiary of the post colonial order which extracts wealth from the developing world, and its true wealth is only possible in that framework, so any version of widely adopted social democracy on the Nordic model would by necessity remain extractive.

Not just libs! Vanguard leftists also generally dislike mushy social democracy stuff and will level similar kinds of criticisms. Any successful social model stands as an existential threat to all its ideological competitors.

White supremacy by definition involves self-harm to hurt others. Self-determination means freeing others to free yourself. The racist rejects this bargain.

After reading a lot of posts from drivers I also realized why: Americans consider “car vs not car” a HIERARCHY, held just as sacred and built into society as the imagined hierarchies of race, sex, age and class, and they’re just as willing to fight and die to keep it.

If there's a truth somewhere in this mealy-mouthed drivel, it's that the baser instincts that lead to conservatism cannot be snuffed out in humanity, but at least can be boxed in to a well-contained rump party.

It holds true you should always be suspicious of explanations that flatter you too much. For liberals, it’s the idea that they ran a great candidate who was stopped by base bigotry.
