The amount of effort it seems people who like to call themselves leftists but aren't remotely interested in any practical means of getting there are astonishing.
I don't think they ever make good faith arguments and spend 100% of their time online complaining about the practical leftists, doing things like calling them centerists for realizing their 1 day plans for revolution aren't actually ever coming to fruition, or pointing out that their rhetoric, has, and continues to harm people by pulling power from the practical and pragmatic to the whimsical nonexistent nonsense they call solutions to problems but are actually just dream goals.
Somehow, no matter the damage they cause, they double down on pretending the people who aren't in dream land but have the closslest to their goals as them, are the real problem worth complaining about and not the people setting things on fire.
I have to feel like these people are Jill Stien esque psyops sent to derail leftist ideas from ever actually seeing the light of day.
When it comes to doing the right thing for the American people, the useless centrists you insist on calling "practical leftists" do nothing and call it incrementalism.
When it comes to selling weapons for genocide, they can't do it fast enough and will fight to keep doing it no matter what it costs the American people.
The country has slid to the right for decades and "practical" do-nothing-but-genocide centrists are enthusiastically complicit.
You are clearly trying to strawman me again, which seems like your go to move here.
The DNC is currently a center right organization.
Practical leftists support them because they understand that in the American political system it is impossible to make another party, so the only way to avoid what we have here is to support the democrats and change them with local politics and primaries.
The practical leftists aren't foolish enough to believe that the democrats losing will magically move them left, as what we've seen is instead, they're happy to continue being "at least we aren't republicans"
Your attempt to call the centrrists do nothing but genocide is an astoundingly ignorant take that shows you truly don't take politics seriously, as you only go based on vibes and not policy decisions and more than that do not understand how little can be done in a permanent fashion when voters let in the other party every 4 to 8 years and you have no usable senate super majority.
You have yet to say anything that wasn't repeating your strawman like a broken record. Like your politics don't have any nuance to them at all or aren't your honest opinions but just something you where to troll people who are actually angry with the state of USA politics.
Stop trying to co-opt the left by branding pro-genocide-and-nothing-else centrists as being to the left.
Once again, just you making strawman arguments.
Truly just a troll at this point.
Stop gaslighting people for not buying your pro-genocide bullshit.
As mentioned in my other reply, it's disappointing it's obvious now you're the first troll I've met on Lemmy with the simple trolling tactic of just saying "You believe thing you don't and no I don't have to have a reason" line of fake leftist trolling.
Why waste your time trolling people where barely anyone else will even see it. I don't understand what you get out of it.
DARVO.
