but liberals at least talk about things like operation orange chicken with the discussion as the main part of their resistence movement

we should call Trump "cheeto" or "orangutan" even more often, it's like 10x effective than silly stuff like organizing for revolution for the proletariat

The way you get people to join the revolution is to help them, you have to give them as much of a taste of what your idealogy can bring as you can. You don't need to be a part of government to do that, but it helps you reach more people. When people say get organized, one of the things that mean js being a part of local government and that requires someone to vote for you. Mamdani has done more for socialism in America then anything else has in a long time. This isn't to say americans shouldn't revolt, they absolutely should, but local representation is intrincincly linked to that, and they can take the form of union reps, community leaders and yes even local politicians.
