Sounds to me like you’re telling them to shut the fuck up when many others around you are screaming at them to fucking say something. Figure out a way to maximize the potential of any possible ally. If you can’t figure out how the fuck to do that, ask someone who can help you for help.
You should probably unfuck your mixed signals and work with those others to develop a more cohesive, less unhinged narrative. If you’re not a part of the solution, you’re a part of the fucking problem.
I'm saying the people who spent 30 years fighting progressives instead of Republicans don't get to suddenly say progressives were kind of right. And then they some logical gymnastics the neoliberals still get to dictate policy.
They are more than welcome to get on the bus, they just need to "shut the fuck up" while the adults who saw this coming 20+ years ago can finally try to fix it with just Republicans fighting them and not also the neolibs.
You get that right?
The absolute best thing neoliberals can do is literally "shut the fuck up" and vote D, the same thing they e been screeching for decades that everyone else needs to do.
It's seriously not complicated. I know I have a habit of overestimating others, but you really should have been able to figure this out this deep in the comment chain.
These people you’re tilting at, why aren’t you finding them where they are and telling them what they should do? How many of them do you expect to find on Lemmy? Your posting here is for what? The warm fucking fuzzies?
For all the posts you’re willing to make here, you sure as fuck had better be posted up regularly in whatever YouTube channels and Facebook pages they frequent, giving them all orders of magnitude the hellfire and brimstone you’re laying down here.
Otherwise, aside from the handful of users who’ll downvote you, the only other users you’d be here for are those who upvote you. Bitch here if you feel you need to, but for every post here you make, given your apparent anger, you’d better be out there wherever the targets of your ire are setting off ten solar fucking prominences at a time.
Because if you aren’t at least doing that, the only thing you’re really doing here is bitching. Which is fine, so long as you’re honest with yourself about that. As for me, by the time I wake up tomorrow, I’ll long have since forgotten we even had this chat.
