re: pathways towards solutions, how many trans people have you convinced to vote for anti-trans Democrats by arguing this way?

the fuck are you TALKING about? do you think "vote for Democrats who are abandoning trans people" is building a coalition? you have to meet the needs of the people you're trying to be in coalition with!

HITLER LOST THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE BUT THEN THE PARTIES IN POWER APPOINTED HIM TO A CEREMONIAL POSITION AS A FRIENDLY CONCESSION IF ONLY PEOPLE HAD VOTED FOR THE LEFTISTS WHO SAID THEY'D PUT THE FUCKER BACK IN JAIL

most Democratic politicians keep their job whether the party has a majority or not, so "losing" isn't really LOSING for them

why is it incumbent on others to come up with solutions? I am stuck in the same mess as you. it is just as much your responsibility as mine. why do other people need to figure this out for you? stop waiting for someone to tell you what to do and help us figure it out, we'll cover more ground.

I'm saying it is a surmountable problem, one you yourself have surmounted, and an inquiry into why some people surmount it and some don't needs to be deeper than "it's the media." I find that lack of curiosity disrespectful.

look into the efforts of Occupy Oakland, they did loads of local organizing, prevented evictions, and even shut down the port

I am literally citing Occupy as an example of dual power building that was deflated by cops and then funneled into electoralism

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

my experience with "populist infiltration" is it tends to funnel energy from boots-on-the-ground organizing back towards electoralism, e.g. fervor from Occupy getting absorbed by the Sanders campaign. I would rather build dual power for its own sake.

the electorates of Podunk Nebraska, Bumfuck Utah, and even Nowheresville Arkansas are not, in fact, all white rednecks. there are active and vital lefty movements in all those states, who go ignored in every election because "we gotta cater to the moderates."

maybe the reason the proles don't "wake up" is because, like you, would-be revolutionaries hold them in utter contempt?

yeah but, historically, Dems always run the same kinds of candidates, while the public sometimes votes for them and sometimes doesn't. so the public seems the more flexible of the two.

you're at the point where you fully accept "the politicians will never, ever listen to their constituents, so we have to pressure the constituents to align with the politicians." and maybe, in a trolley problem sense, that is the more ethical option. but how can you call that "saving democracy"?

therefore, it is a more productive expenditure of energy to try and get the centrist elected than to convince the Democratic party to run a candidate with popular policies. I get it. just... think for five seconds about what you're giving up with that logic.

like, I kind of get it? the feeling that Dems are gonna do what Dems do. we can scold them to stop running centrists all day every day, but they're gonna run a centrist. so that's what we have to work with.

"if people would just vote for the lesser evil-"

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not [sic] time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.
