    That doesn’t help the cause though, in fact this exact attitude might be a pretty big part of why we’re all in deep shit now.

        I oy wish i were actually capable of that. But my autistic ass is inherently alienating for some reason. Best thing I could do is shut up

        The only people we need to be messaging are the DNC. Policy that improves people’s material condition is louder than any of us can hope to be. Same goes for genocide.

        There is nothing you can say to someone who sees people just like them getting massacred by American bombs that will make them vote for you. I spent over a year screaming this, but I was drown out by people saying “no, actually because the republicans will do it worse, all the anti-genocide voters are still gonna vote so the democrats don’t need to change course”. And now those same people are saying the voters learned their lesson and will vote blue no matter who next time or that democrats issue is messaging.

        Take - and make - your opportunities to change minds. Don’t be afraid, but be careful. Don’t be polite for the sake of politeness, but be kind, be considerate, even be gentle when you think it will help, but don’t be polite.

        Not to put too fine a point on it: No.
