In fairness, the party opposes primary challengers from the left (and only the left. They didn’t protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman like they protected Henry Cuellar) much harder than they have ever opposed fascism.

True, but that doesn’t mean we should roll over because there is opposition. We should keep trying to primary. And we should build out as much of an independent party as we can.
It is our movement. We are the ones building it. And we should have done more of this decades ago.
Sure, but our modern fellow lefties do discourage trying.
For example in this thread @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social was asking why we no longer have a black panther party all while telling me all the reasons why they are not interested in showing up to vote.
Engaging in elections is still one way we can engage in the public space and start to make some changes in a favorable direction. We can’t keep wondering why electoralism is not in our favor if we are also not even trying.
Like i said in the other side of the thread; if you can get your supporters to show up and vote you have credibility to mobilize for other things.
So now you’re just going to lie about me?
You’re aware @Ensign_Crab@lemmy.worldupvoted&read our entire conversation the other day, right?
Ensign_Crab knows your entire government keeps massacring us, without giving us the opportunities to play in first past the post politics.
But sincing lying will be your praxis moving forward, I will definitely make an appointment to your voting district now.

It also doesn’t mean there’s been a lack of trying.

Since your Nazi instance banned me in that community, look at what fascists are doing this election too.
And your take is to just step out of their way? Strange resistance, but lmk how that works out for your company captain.
You could be demolishing fash companies too, but I am sure a lobbyist like you knows more on how to be effective in fascist states.
We should be doing lots of things and can do more than one thing at a time.
This implys you don’t look to be effective in your actions.
Because your government keeps killing us?
